Although a lot of the described exposures are protectet, the collecting of material isn't always impossible. Restrictions needed to be obey but in every case a "non-destructive" look on the sites should be possible (if not on private...

As a result of his careful collecting and of his laborious and painstaking methods in the preparation of the material, the collection in the American Museum is exceptionally valuable.

It may be proper in this place to ... 

FAMILY PLEUROTOMARIIDAE SWAINSON, 1840(GASTROPODA, ARCHAEOGASTROPODA)FROM THE BOHEMIAN CRETACEOUS BASIN INTRODUCTION This paper deals with the family Pleurotomariidae SWAINSON, 1840 from sediments of the Bohemia n Cretaceous Basin...

Nor have they been confirmed by recent collecting activities. Pleurotomaria sublaeuis REUSS (A. E. REUSS, 1845) and Pleurotomaria baculitarum GEINITZ A. FRIG, 1893) can rightfully be regarded as the species Solarium ...

However, wherever the genus occurs, it is sparsely represented in numbers (Klinger & Kennedy 1980), and its absence in Germany may be due to collecting failure.
