What is the etiquette on returning to spot shown to me by a fossil hunting guide? Last year a guide took me and some others to a nice creek in South Carolina. It's really the only spot I know of. Is it okay to return to it on my own, or is that frowned upon?

Yesterday, I was participating in an Open House event with my local mineral club. I had a display of fossils, minerals, and American Indian artifacts from New York state, and found that the person assisting visitors at the door was sending all of the people who brought fossils in to my table. This was lots of fun, but I rapidly discovered a problem with the two fossil guide books I own: while they both have a lot of information about Lower and Middle Devonian fossils, there wasn't enough breadth on Upper Devonian for me to really give a positive ID of anything found locally! The best I could manage was to point to a Middle Devonian species and say something like "The holes in your rock look a lot like the impressions that on of these brachiopods, Pseodoatrypa devoniana, might leave, but those were earlier and didn't get that big. I don't know what your fossils are other than something similar." Can anyone recommend a good resource for Upper Devonian material? What I currently have are the two PRI publications on Devonian Fossils of New York (one by Linsley, the other by Wilson).
