Hey gang, went to prospect some new Permian beds which are capped by lower pleistocene material. Nice surprise to see a mastodon jaw peeking out. Pretty worn but possible the other side of the jaw is underneath. Femur and vertebrae nearby. Keeping my fingers crossed. Will head back out in a few weeks.
