Best Answer

A palentologis will record each finding for multiple reasons. One is so that they can stay updated, and know what kind of fossile (or bones) they have found, another is they are paid commission with each fossile they find. Also, they like to stay organized and keeping an updated activity log is a great way to stay on top of things in the work field.

The specific form of a citation for a field diary will depend on the context in which it appears and the preferred style for that context.
