Fossils for the Future: Northern Plains Governors' Conference. Held in RapidCity, South Dakota on August 24-26, 1992

摘要

The goal of the Northern Plains Governors' Conference was to establish agroundwork for a coordinated regional approach to integrate education, economic development, and protection of the vertebrate fossil resource by considering both public and private interests at the national, state and local levels. The Conference was to be a public forum where land managers, professionals, amateurs, hobbyists, and other interested parties could convene for the purpose of exchanging information and identifying issues concerning management, protection, and rural economic development issues related to finite, irreplaceable, vertebrate fossils.
