I love fossils yay!
Robyn Crawford-great description of the entrance. We would have never found it with your specific directions.
*Do not use Google maps to find this place.*
It is near the entrance of Becker Park on Locust Ave in Roseland, NJ. Enter Becker Park. Before the stone bridge look to your right. You will see a path if its not too overgrown. We missed it twice, but its there.

The trail is easy, maybe takes 30 mins, but is hard to find. Don't follow the Google map directions here. Instead go to the park. There is some side parking near the houses. The trail is to the right before the bridge. I couldn't find any fossils. I think the park has been well picked over. But it is a nice walk.
Nice old quarry with some visible fossils. About a 15 minute hike from trail head. Trail has blue blazes. I saw some imprints that could have been plant stems. It looks like fossil collectors are active here.
A beautiful location, but I couldn’t find any public parking, or the fossils themselves- probably just google had the wrong location for the driving directions and I didn’t have enough time to explore at length.
I ended up being directed to the Livingston sculpture hilltop instead

Loved the serenity of this place. When you get to the top you can see the whole essex county and more.
