texaswoodie Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 This is some NSR material. I think there is a chunk of Mastodon tooth there, but need verification. The small one, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron E. Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanks Tracer Woo hooooooo, I found a Mammoth! I can relate, pal. I had a tooth I found on St. Pete Beach ID'ed by my friends here as a lower jaw meg tooth. It was a rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracer Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 yeah, i didn't mean to be short in my answer but sometimes i'm busy and just pop on to see who's spammin' and such. i'm not sure that i'll ever get over the excitement of finding stuff like that. i spend a fair amount of time picturing in my mind how things used to be, with all manner of weird and wonderful things in the environment, right here where i am, just separated by time. and all the people around me don't know it. they just putter through their lives, never realizing that some paleoindians chased a mammoth right through their yard once. it's really cool to be able to live it, and suddenly find it, and be able to know what it is. i get all happy just thinking about the things tj has. wait...

texaswoodie Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah, I still have a kid's appreciation of all things weird. I've lusted after a Mammoth something.......anything for a very long time. The small bone is too small to be a reptile, I would think. Any wild guess? Fish, bird ?

Auspex Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Not likely to be bird; the walls are too thick.

tracer Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 the small bone has the general look perhaps of the end of a mammal metapodial, but i just feel like any greater degree of speculation isn't warranted based on the small piece that remains.

texaswoodie Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks. As you can see I know -3 about this stuff. Mammal ID is good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefootgirl Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Awesome finds!
