ADMMR does not have any minerals now and there are none involved in our taking custody of the dept's resources.<br /><br />There is a bill in the Legislature that would return the Museum to ADMMR but given the change in the department's financial situation, I don't know what's going to happen.Lee Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520300956249160005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30940686.post-38886912030187211362011-01-23T08:38:13.058-08:002011-01-23T08:38:13.058-08:00Lee, is there an actual scuffle over the minerals?...Lee, is there an actual scuffle over the minerals? I've seen a couple of posts to that effect. I'm an undergraduate geologist, and I agree that the minerals are far more than just pretty (and admittedly expensive and rare).

Now, HB 2251 must be repealed to recover the mineral specimens from the Arizona Historical Society.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717447541461745969noreply@blogger.com
