How precise is the map marker?
The marker is approximate statewide context — state geometry for Statewide gravel deposits, pits and stream contexts, Louisiana. It is intentionally approximate and should not be interpreted as a specimen coordinate or as proof that collecting is authorized at the marker itself.
Checks specific to this location
- Confirm parcel ownership and obtain required permission before entering or removing material.
- Verify the exact destination, the land manager’s latest rules and safe travel conditions before leaving.
When was this information last checked?
The recorded review date is August 30, 2026. Treat that date as the evidence snapshot used for this classification. Conditions can change after review, so field decisions should use the newest posted rules and manager information.
Is a map pin the same as collecting permission?
No. A map pin answers a navigation or geographic-context question. The status and evidence answer the permission question. Exact coordinates, public destination addresses and approximate county or regional context are deliberately kept separate so geographic precision is not confused with legal authority.
Identify the stone and document where it came from
Agate-like chalcedony pebbles and silica-replaced palmwood may be associated with transported river gravels. Check the material’s structure before calling it agate or fossil wood; water-worn quartz, chert and modern plant impressions can look similar. A gravel bar may lie inside a private parcel, a regulated waterway or a flood-prone corridor.
Permission check: learn who manages the access route and whether surface collection is authorized. Do not dig into levees, borrow pits, steep banks or active operations. See the Louisiana identification guide and the state field map; a regional coordinate is not a specimen-level collecting location.
