Common sense wins out

Fossil-rich coal mine site saved from reclamation

A strip mine turned fossil trove was supposed to be destroyed as part of Federal "reclamation" law. That won't happen now, as the state has taken ownership of the mine and will preserve it for study. They have 40 years to get a Federal law passed to exempt the site, or for Republicans to destroy all Federal environmental regulation, whatever comes first.
