Re: Abstracts & Illustrations

Rather than repeat the entire text of a rather long email, I will just offer my
support and state that I feel Norm is 100% correct.  You must SEE the
specimens.  Period.  You must also see the outcrop.  To quote Don Wise the day
I entered his structure course, "The one who sees the most rocks before he dies
wins."  It is true for fossils as well.
