Paleontological Resources

Paleontological resources (i.e., fossils) include the preserved remains or other evidence of past life and are protected by various federal, State, and local regulations and requirements. LSA’s Paleontological Resources Management is typically conducted through a three-step process: (1) an initial assessment, (2) mitigation, if resources are found to be present, and (3) a final report documenting compliance with all applicable regulations and requirements. We have provided professional paleontologists for projects throughout the western United States since 1979, and we back up our knowledge of the regulatory framework with region-specific expertise, professional certifications, and fully appointed laboratory facilities.
