Geologist-style Legal Disclaimer for Geology Field Trip (Also open access FOP Guidebooks)


Oxytropidoceras

Recommended Posts

I was looking through a Friends of the Pleistocene (FOP) fieldtrip

guidebook when I came across a "legal disclaimer" as only 

a geologist could have written one on pp. 270-274 of Seitz (2012).

 

The guidebook is:

 

Seitz, Gordon, 2012, Guidebook Neotectonics of the Lake Tahoe and 

Carson and Sierra Valleys. Friends of the Pleistocene Pacific Cell, Sept. 13-16.

 

It can be downloaded from:

http://www.fop.cascadiageo.org/pacific_cell/2012/FOP2012-guidebook.pdf

and it and other Friends of the Pleistocene Pacific Cell Field Trips

gudiebooks at:

http://www.fop.cascadiageo.org/?page_id=25

 

Guidebooks for various other cells of the Friends of The Pleistocene 

field trips can be found at http://www.fop.cascadiageo.org

 

Yours,

 

Paul H.

This probably was inspired while drinking appropriate doses of their preferred beverage as mentioned in this passage from the disclaimer:

 

“The only safe fermented medium we stand behind, actually endorse in appropriate doses is based on the Reinheitsgebot from 1516.“

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

LOL.

 

This will actually make it more likely that the legal disclaimers will be read thoroughly and heeded.

Context is critical.

Start the day with a smile and get it over with.

I'm a friend of the Pleistocene, but the Holocene is my BFF. No hard feelings.

Context is critical.
