Re: Radioactive Fossils



Dear Ron,

Thanks very much for your help.  I may take you up on that call.  The
individual who is concerned about the radioactivity is from the Beijing
museum and I'm meeting with him next week.  Depending on his questions and
the geology of the area of collection, I may have some specific questions
to ask you.

Thanks again, Laurie T.
