Description: Article summarizing the issue from Geotimes by Lawrence J. Flynn.
Geotimes August 1996 - Political Scene This guest "Political Scene" was written by Larry Flynn from the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, one of the American Geological Institute's (AGI) member societies that has been very involved in the debate over fossil collecting on public lands. This debate is currently focused on legislation (H.R. 2943) introduced this February in the House of Representatives that would for the first time allow commercial fossil collectors to collect on public lands. No hearings have been scheduled for the bill, and its prospects for passage are at best slim. Because this issue is controversial within the geologic community, AGI has not taken a position on H.R. 2943 but supports all of its member societies in making their voices heard. For information and an update on this and other legislation, please visit the AGI home page on this server at
