Uncle Siphuncle Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well, John and I never did locate my mammoth skull, but we did pick up a few goodies. John got a mammoth patella and acetabulum, I grabbed a mammoth vert and camel cervical vert (Camelops or Hemiauchenia? - you be the judge). Grüße, Daniel A.

Uncle Siphuncle Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 John had to bust my chops at one point for actually standing on a piece of mammoth bone that I didn't even notice, even though my toes were cocked up in the air and I could have rolled an ankle on it. I deserved that one! Then we tag teamed that mammoth centrum. We saw it at the same time and I was first to articulate a "WHOA!" and dive on it like a live grenade. Sometimes youthful reflexes win out! Man we had fun. A few spots were good enough to make grown men act giddy. We got a pile of old bottles as well. Grüße, Daniel A.

JohnJ Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Keep going. Pretty soon you guys will have a whole skeleton. If Dan can keep from tripping on the parts.... I think he could have created a fossil Frankenstein with the number of bones he picked up. The camel vert was a monster. Can we see it again, Dan? In the meantime, here are a few mineralized/ringing beauties I picked up...

Uncle Siphuncle Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 My best guesses are bison calcaneum, no idea on the vert, mammoth patella, mammoth acetabulum. I'm curious what the other folks think. Johnny isn't one to come home empty handed. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils."

Harry Pristis Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 My best guesses are bison calcaneum, no idea on the vert, mammoth patella, mammoth acetabulum. I'm curious what the other folks think. Johnny isn't one to come home empty handed. Almost certainly a bison calcaneum. Looks right for mammoth patella. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
