Screening for fossils at Edisto Beach

First screen

You will need the following equipment to screen for fossils:

  1. a small screen with a wood frame and 1/4" wide mesh metal screen (finer mesh screen will catch smaller fossils),
  2. a small folding shovel or sturdy child's shovel,
  3. and a plastic or clothes sheet.

You may also want to bring handbooks on shell and fossil identification.
