FOSSIL HUNTERS opens with a group meeting (either at FH Headquarters or on location). The 7 adventurers are there to plan their next fossil hunt. They always organize a group fossil hunt somewhere exotic and explain why it's an important site, and also what material they can expect to find there. Sometimes they'll invite a "guest fossil hunter" along with them and/or visit their private fossil collection. They also visit local fossil clubs and perform educational outreach programs for kids in schools, libraries, and museums. Other times individual FOSSIL HUNTERS take the viewer on a private hunt to their "fossil honey hole". Each episode ends with the group summarizing their adventures and looking forward to the next one.
