Small bags are useful in separating specimens from different localities.
Heavy-duty hardware bags for large rough material and medium-weight
grocery bags for smaller specimens may be used. Locality data may be
written directly on the bag or on a label placed inside with the
fossils. As an added precaution some collectors do both. The more
serious collector may want to use a cloth geological sample bag (Pl. 5).
