this source, which is for 'Marble Mountain Rock Collecting Area (Trilobite)', not this wilderness, says "Collecting may not be allowed in special management areas, such as wilderness and national historic sites or on mining claims." so this claim is not supported.
'''Trilobite Wilderness''' is a wilderness area in the [[ClipperMarble Mountains (San Bernardino County)|Marble Mountains]] of the eastern [[Mojave Desert]] in northeastern [[San Bernardino County, California]]. It is named for the large number of [[trilobite]] fossils that can be found within its boundaries. Aside from its paleontological significance, it is home to typical flora and fauna of the Mojave Desert, including a stable population of [[Bighorn sheep|bighorn sheep]] and [[desert tortoise]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trilobite Wilderness |url=https://wilderness.net/visit-wilderness/?ID=610 |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=wilderness.net |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Trilobite Wilderness {{!}} Bureau of Land Management |url=https://www.blm.gov/visit/trilobite-wilderness |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=www.blm.gov |language=en}}</ref> The area was created as an addition to the [[National Wilderness Preservation System]] in 1994 as a part of the [[California Desert Protection Act of 1994|California Desert Protection Act]].<ref>{{Cite web |orig-date=31 October 1994 |title=Public Law 103-433 |url=https://uscode.house.gov/statviewer.htm?volume=108&page=4480 |access-date=2024-10-28 |website=uscode.house.gov}}</ref>
