Oooh, I love fossils! All I have to say is to bring a couple buckets and a small set of tools--chisel, hammer, hand-held pick-axe, small shovel-- to split rocks. Look for sandstone, dolomite, and limestone with many layers and be sure to open any that seemed cracked. You tend to get an impression of the fossil on both sides of the rock. Be careful, of course, to not hit it too hard lest you shatter it to puzzle-pieces. Bring water to drink, too! Too many people get heat-stroke when they don't think it's even super hot. If you're looking for special pieces, then any animal--like large shells or insects or whatnot-- and leafy plants are in demand.
