Due to a high volume of requests, the current turnaround for record searches is now approximately 4-6 weeks. We appreciate your patience.
The Western Science Center is available to perform paleontological record searches for upcoming mitigation projects.
Western Science Center record searches will be returned within approximately two weeks of the date a request is received, and will contain a map and letter indicating paleontological sensitivity and any known Western Science Center fossil localities within the proposed project area.
The fee for standard paleontological record searches is $200 per quadrangle and the Western Science Center reserves the right to increase fees for large or extensive requests.
