I have the opportunity to go to alaska in late may early june. I have never been to alaska before. I have seen several published sites, and some conflicting information on legal rules. I was thinking about ammonites at slide mountain, leaves at coyote lake and wishbone hill. possibly collecting near Homer on the beach. If anyone has experience at these places I would appreciate their feedback. I really dont want to get myself arrested.

Anyone tried out BLM's RAPTOR online permit system yet?
LabRatKing posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Was curious if anyone has used the Bureau of Land Management's new RAPTOR online permitting system. Doesn't seem to be working too well for me. https://permits.blm.gov/raptor/landing- 2 replies

As I live relatively close to Carmel Valley, I have recently been researching into collecting fossils there, especially the Pinnixa pea crabs.The main collecting information I have heard from several different sources is to “Collect along Carmel Valley road road cuts and the surround road cuts. Look for the whitish shale and collect there.” However, I am concerned about the legality of this. Even though many people have gone collecting there, I believe the road to be public land, and California’s laws say that no collecting is allowed on public land. I know that in some fossiliferous areas in the US there are exceptions to this rule (such as Millard Country Utah,) and want to make sure it is legal to collect there before I go. If it is illegal to collect along there, I would appreciate any legal sites/ private land owners to contact, if some members would be willing to share them. (Of course, over PM unless it is already a very well known site, such as the Carmel Valley road road cuts.)

Hello everybody, I'm looking for the official excerpts of laws that stipulate that a fossil found on a private land in USA is the property of the landowner who can legally keep it, sell it or export it. Do you know where can I find these documents ? If I'm right, the fossils found in US are not considered as cultural heritage. It that right ? Thanks for your help, BR, Yann

I'm looking to visit a few road cuts in Indiana this month, including St. Leon and a few around Bloomington. I've read differing accounts here about the legality of collecting on roadcuts in Indiana. Would anyone be able to clear it up?
