EURYPTERID HUNTING AT LANG'S QUARRY

Our working quarry is only yards from the famous locality where some of the world's first eurypterids were found. Educational tours for schools, universities, and other groups come from around the world have come to hear Allan Lang lecture on the geology of the area, and the spectacular eurypterids that are found here. We maintain an online museum exhibit, and viewings of our collection, in person, are possible by appointment. Future plans include an expanded museum facility and visitor center.
