I've been doing paleo work for about 24 years now. Started very young in southern UT and never gave up on it. Had considered a career in it for a while, but ended up doing other things.
I'm a huge fan of pro-am partnerships and have been fortunate to work with some amazing paleontologists over the years. I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting sites.
This is my latest find. Happenstance discovery in Pima county AZ a few months ago. Currently under excavation by the county. Second proboscidean I've found so far in the southwest
The tusk is obvious, there were a few other bones eroding out. From what I understand they've uncovered some ribs with the tusk so far.
Cheers!
