But one thing people need to know about is how thing have changed since then in reguards to hunting fossils. The laws. Once it was pretty much finders keepers, but not anymore and even if your kid picks one up and takes it, they may very well be breaking the law and you could face legal difficultys. That’s why I decided to only collect them digitaly with my camera. I think it’s too bad a parent can’t just take a kid out and collect something just laying on the ground that will be destroyed if no one pics it up, but that’s the way it is now.
