TABLE 1. Cyclic prospecting schedule for subareas within one of the five main cyclic prospecting areas within Sheep Rock Unit of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. F stands for fine prospecting and C stands for coarse prospecting (Fremd, 1995). Note that this proposed schedule does not align with the actual collection in Figure 3. This is easiest to see for the years 1993 and 1997. These should overlap based on the schedule but are on opposite ends of the collection area.
| Example Area | 1993 | 1994 | 1995 | 1996 | 1997 | 1998 |
| Subarea 1 | F | C | F | |||
| Subarea 2 | C | F | C | |||
| Subarea 3 | F | C | F | |||
| Subarea 4 | C | F | C | |||
| Subarea 5 | F | C | F |
