Auspex Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Carl's overlooked advice is excellent: ...I would suggest taking it to the nearest natural history museum so someone can have a hands-on look at it... If you find someone who really knows mammals, and give them more than a dark, blurry photo, I think they will concur with the unanimous suggestion voiced here.

AgrilusHunter Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 As always the administration on this forum is top shelf! Editing these postings for anonymity was the correct course of action. Bravo.

RichW9090 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 By the way, you notice that I almost never post on anything other than mammals, birds or turtles - that is where my expertise lies, and as far as invertebrates go, y'all are speaking Greek to me, and I don't know one brachiopod from another trilobite. Any one who would look to me to id a trilobite would be just plain silly. Rich The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 After a rather unpleasant comment left by the topic starter (since removed), it is clear that he does not value the help he sought from us. Still, we wish him well in his search for truth, which will out.
