| The Association of Applied Paleontological Sciences, formerly the "American Association of Paleontological Suppliers" was organized to create a professional association of commercial fossil and mineral collectors and preparators for the purpose of promoting ethical collecting practices and cooperative liaisons with researchers, instructors, curators and exhibit managers in the academic and museum paleontological community. The American Lands Access Association was established by the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies for the purpose of promoting and ensuring the right of the amateur hobby collector, recreational prospector and miner to the use of public and private lands for collecting rocks, minerals and fossils for educational and recreational purposes. These Associations have chosen to cooperate in the effort to introduce and enact legislation that will establish a statutory right of access for amateur and commercial fossil and mineral collecting on federal public lands.
