Oil companies at least here do not have specialists in these line and have not repositories for the specimens.  If the expense is not too great for getting out these specimens they might be glad to send the specimens where they would be preserved and studied if they could have lists, data etc.  If some collecting field came to light where the specimens would be of more value for study and exhibits I could let your men know when they are in the field or could let your men know when they are in the field or it might be that I could direct excavation.
