Within the small mountain, near the foot by an old dried up river is a sandstone quarry. Sandstone is notorious for finding fossils, because it's sediments form all around the extinct animal's bodies, and then turns to rock, keeping the fossils unharmed for millions of years. The quarry site was bought out by MasterBall Academy as a sort of research area. It allows ancient history students to examine the tiny fossils imbeded in the rock, and discover the kinds of foods they may have eaten by examining perfectly preserved teeth and leaf imprints.

The fossil club will occasionally go out to the quarry with adult supervision, and bring back fossils to study, and later thaw out during their day off on a trip to the Oreburgh City Fossil reviver found at the coal museum.
