Section 3
Disposition versions
3. Unless authorization is obtained from the Minister, no person may remove, extract, excavate or damage a fossil in the biodiversity reserve.
Despite the first paragraph, no authorization is required to remove fossils when
(1) the removal is effected on a non-commercial basis;
(2) the fossils removed are exposed at the ground surface;
(3) the fossils removed are separated from the rock that contains them;
(4) the removal does not require excavation using mechanical means or extraction using tools;
(5) the removal is limited to a maximum of five fossils of less than 10 cm per person per year; and
(6) the removal is effected only in a place where no signage erected by the Minister prohibits removal in order to preserve fossil-bearing sectors that must be maintained intact because of their representative or exceptional nature.
