The Fossil Site - Paleozoic.org

Paleozoic.org is the website where fossils live — a free educational resource dedicated to the exchange of information and ideas between paleontologists, fossil collectors, hunters, and dealers

BEATING THE FOSSIL BILL
The AAPS has advised us that the so-called "Paleontological Resources Preservation Act" (HR2974 and S2727) which sought to regulate (read: "ban") fossil collecting and commerce in the United States "died at the end of the congressional session." This is great news for fossil collectors, but the bill could be reintroduced, so we must be vigilant. The AAPS will continue to monitor the situation, and they can use your support!
