Can I collect fossils and rocks on the Oglala National Grassland?
Rock hunting and surface collection of rocks and agates is popular in many areas on the Oglala National Grassland. They may be collected for personal use without a permit. Artifacts, such as projectile points, pottery shards, or any other archeological resources are protected by law, and collection is not allowed. Collection of vertebrate fossils is allowed by permit only. Please contact the ranger district office for additional information.
