The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California is offering this grant for a project focused on the Moreno Shale Formation. This grant aims to develop a Rare Earth Element (REE) signature database for the BLM. This database will be used to trace and recover stolen vertebrate fossils, leveraging unique elemental fingerprints for security. Additionally, the collected REE data will interpret the Moreno Shale Formation’s paleoenvironment, including estimated temperature, pH, and oxygen availability. This project is crucial for enhancing fossil protection efforts and gaining valuable scientific understanding of ancient geological conditions.
