Risks would include all types of injury (sprains, eye damage from rock chipping, blunt force trauma, injury from falling rock, snake or animal bites or attacks, lacerations, etc.), heat stroke, exhaustion, suffocation from landslides, dehydration and other afflictions. There could also be misdemeanor or felony charges and fines filed or levied against you for trespass or theft of objects from protected lands. Be safe and take precautions before embarking on a fossil hunting adventure.
