Located on the west side of Centennial Road, about 1/4 mile south of Erie Street/Sylvania-Metamora Road. No metal tools are allowed, but I suggest bringing a brush, a bucket and something to wrap up the fossils in when you leave.

Information from the Fossil Park website (
visit link)
The Devonian fossils come from Hanson Aggregate Midwest's large working quarries a mile to the south of Fossil Park, where you and your family or group can hunt for these fossils in a safe and controlled environment.
The one fossil everyone wants to unearth at Fossil Park is the Trilobite, the distinctive life form of the era. Fossil Park is, however, rich in brachiopods, coral, and over 200 species of prehistoric life. These fossils tend to be large and whole. Visitors will have rare exposure to fossil hunting in an actual rock quarry with an abundant fossil content. It's up to you to dig up these buried treasures and the best part is that you get to keep what you find!
