Re: Preliminary: Rocks and Minerals
I'm excited for this event next year. I just found a pocket guidebook titled "ROCKS & MINERALS" in a thrift store and I've been studying from it for about a week. I think I kind of took finding the book as a good omen.
2011-2012 season is over...

Re: Preliminary: Rocks and Minerals
Meant to ask... This event is supposed to place fossils, so, would we be able to carry in a guidebook and a binder like we were able to for fossils, or just a binder?

Re: Preliminary: Rocks and Minerals
Based on the old rules, I believe you're allowed a binder and a guidebook.RespectTheBlade wrote:Meant to ask... This event is supposed to place fossils, so, would we be able to carry in a guidebook and a binder like we were able to for fossils, or just a binder?
