Paleonet: Arizona fossil collecting sites

[Mark Storaasli]

tell
you that boots are better than tennis shoes where dried cactus and other
plant
thorns, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, and scorpions abound...gloves and loose
denim work clothing- including the loose long-sleeved shirt or jacket
-should be
considered more appropriate than what summer tourist's wear ;-)
