Fieldwork Friday "Rules"

I will probably not be posting any specific information on locations for the obvious reasons (site security, legal and ethical reasons, ect...). Please remember that any collecting that takes place from federal lands (National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U. S. Forest Service) requires a permit to remove vertebrate remains. Please see these sites for information on collecting invertebrate/plant remains from BLM lands:

Paleontology Permitting fro BLM lands

Any material collected by myself are covered under a permit though the appropriate agency and curated at the appropriate repository, unless otherwise noted.
