Can I collect at Red River Gravel / Fossil Context?
Research only. Authoritative Texas geology/educational evidence supports the locality or regional occurrence, but Texas private-land dominance plus unresolved parcel, mineral estate, road/right-of-way, streambed, claim, or site-specific removal authority prevents a collecting recommendation. Public navigable-stream use, where applicable, is not treated as authority to disturb or remove state-claimed streambed material.

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.
