    Parts of Hoplophoneus?

    Hello dear fellow forum members, some years ago I acquired a partial Hoplophoneus skull from the white river badlands. The seller included some small bones supposedly found in more or less close association with the skull. I think a proximal fragment of the radius, some broken metapodials and digits, something that may be part of a skapula and maybe an astragalus, all except the digits with big question marks behind my ID. And one conical thing that I cannot place, first hope was maybe a badly preserved tooth, but I do not think so any more. Any ideas? Thanks! J

    Fossil hunting trip!

    Me and my family just finished up our first fossil hunt! We are still at the ranch, but are leaving in the morning. We all are sad to have to leave the ranch. We all had fun exploring and doing different thimgs, (though some of us a lot less than others) and really enjoyed talking with, Rick and, Jean. They are really nice people. And it is a really nice place to stay. Unfortunately the guide, and everyone else cancled, so we were fossil hunting alone. WE left home at 2 AM on saturday, and arrived in Omaha, NE around 11 AM. We stopped in Omaha to visit with some family, and stayed overnight at an airbnb. The scenery is pretty cool where we stayed! We were very glad that the airbnb was near the top of the hill, instead of at the bottom. Sunday we left the airbnb around 6 AM, and stopped for lunch at a park sometime around 11:00? I don't know, never been good with rembering stuff like that. Here is a photo of the river running through the park we we visited for a lunch break: After lunch we quickly hit the road again. And FINALLY at 3 in the afternoon we arrived! It is truly amazing out here. Indiana is extremely boring compared to the western part of Nebraska! We spent some time enjoying the sunset, and stars before finally calling it a night. You can see so much more stuff in the sky at night here than Indiana. That is to be expected, as we are not really close to any big towns. Monday we went to Crawford, and got some groceries. The grocery stores are very different than the ones in Indiana. Then we visited the University of Nebraska State Museum's Trailside Museum of Natural History. They have some pretty interesting fossils. And it was not very expensive to get in. We then wondered around Fort Robinson, before taking the Smiley Canyon Scenic Drive. It is a scenic drive, where you are supposed to be able to see Bison. And we did see some Bison, but they were too far away to get good pictures, Unfortunately. Here are some pictures I took along the scenic drive: We then went to a rock shop, and I got what appears to be a pretty complete unprepared oreodont skull. I am looking forward to taking a better look at it when I get home, but for now it is all wrapped up. We then went back to the ranch, and had dinner, and went to sleep. TUESDAY we got up early, and, Jean took us out to a part the badlands she owns, and kind of showed us around. We then went fossil hunting on our own, and I found an oreodont jaw at almost the very second that we stopped where we were going to hunt. I was very excited! Then for a while all we were finding were snails and bone pieces and things like that. AND THEN I found a mostly complete tortoise! A little after I had found it we went back to the ranch and rested and then came back out in the evening. Unfortunately I did not dig deep enough, so I left some of the tortoise in the hole, and the supplies we had were not good enough, so the plaster jacket did almost nothing, and the tortoise sorta fell apart when we got back... My chest started to hurt right after we went fossil hunting for the first time on tuesday. After we came back from fossil hunting in the evening my chest hurt VERY badly. I would rather be sick than have that kind of pain. If I moved it made it worse, and laying down made it worse. Eventually I was able to lay down, and get some sleep, but it still hurt. I know why I was in so much pain. It is because of my pectus evacatum. It makes one side of my chest sink in, and if my heart beats too hard, then it starts to hurt. But usually it just hurts for a few seconds On wednesday we decided to not go fossil hunting, as my body obviously needed a break. We went to The Mammoth Site, and looked around at all the cool stuff they had. It is a pretty interesting place. We then went to JH Keith Cascade Falls Picnic Area, and got into the water, but it was kind of chilly, so I did not go swimming. We then stopped at a food store that looked interesting, and got some goodies. Then we went to Walmart to get some supplies, and food. We then headed back to the ranch to get some more rest. Thursday, Jean took us out to a new location, and again, almost as soon as we stopped where we wanted to hunt, I found something, but this time it was a skull. It is fairly weathered, but it has both uppers and lowers. Then a little while after I found that skull, I found another skull, this one being not as weathered, but I don't know how much is there. I then decided to work plaster jacketing the first skull, and got it out of the ground. But there was not enough time, or plaster to plaster jacket the second skull. So we went back to the ranch, and then went to a hardware store, and Dollar General, to get some more supplies. Unfortunately DG did not have what I wanted, but it was not something I really needed. We then went back to the ranch, and were too tired to do any more fossil hunting that day. Friday we headed out early again, and I worked on the second skull, and while working on that, I explored some more of the area and discovered a couple more skulls, though none of them are in amazing shape. I unfortunately had nothing with me to mark the best one. I tried to mark it with some rocks, but unfortunately I was not able to refind it when I had all my tools. I was able to finish up the second skull, jacket a really worn down one with duct tape and foil. I also was able to remove an oreodont lower jaw, maybe part of the skull cap, and a bone or two, they appear to be from the same specimen. Again we were too tired to go out in the evening, so we rested. SATURDAY (today) we went rock hunting, not really something I am interested in, but the rest were interested, and they found some interesting rocks. I did not really collect any rocks. I found a bullet though. I have no clue what it came from or how old it is, but to me it looks modern. We then headed back to the ranch to have lunch, and get everything ready, and packed up, as we are leaving in the morning Sorry that I took so few photos! I just am not great with remembering to take them. I need to work on that. I will try to post some pics of my finds soon! Thanks for looking! -Micah

    Merycoidodon culbertsoni

    From the album: My collection in progress

    Merycoidodon culbertsoni Leidy 1848 Location: Brule Formation, White River Badlands, South Dakota, USA Age: 34 - 23 Mya (Oligocene, Paleogene) Measurements: 3x6,5 cm Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Subphylum: Vertebrata Class: Mammalia Subclass: Theria Superorder: Laurasiatheria Order: Cetartiodactyla Suborder: Tylopoda Family: Merycoidodontidae
  8. I was looking at some of my collection yesterday and dextrose take pictures of my better mammal brain endocasts from the White River Badlands of South Dakota. The first piece is exposed on a partial skull of an Oreodont. This next piece is my favorite and I believe it is from an Oreodont. These other pieces I can only guess, but I would also think Oreodont. This small one appears to be from a rabbit. This last one was ID’d as coming from a Hesperocyon, but cannot confirm that.
  9. I just donated hundreds of micro-snails (most 2 to 3 mm) from the White River Badlands, that I picked from anthill matrix from my sons' M&M Ranch in Nebraska, to the Delaware Museum of Natural History. A group picture of the micro-snails: Some individual pictures of the micro-snails: A figure from Benton Terry Jr. Evanoff McDonald 2015 The White River Badlands Geology and Paleontology which identifies most of these micro-snails: Marco Sr.
  10. Turtle collected by My Friend Zolt. At the white River Badlands at the M&M Ranch Nebraska. This Turtle is missing the Front part and was associated with a Flattend Oreodont Skull. About a foot apart.

    Bird Egg (possibly Limpkin)

    Fossilized egg with brown-colored shell and chalcedony fill. Probably from a limpkin-like bird (possibly Badistornis aramus Wetmore). Note the porous texture of the shell material.
