Able to find me I see. Hope it was easy enough. Here's a few more pictures. They are also masodon. Femur, I believe, & the other part that it fits into to make it a leg. At this point I'm guessing so correct me if I'm mistaken, please. My colleague has told me a little about them & where they came from... ...back in the mid sixties, he & his wife-to-be took a trip to Nebraska so that he could get to know her family before they tied the knot. They were at her grandparents place. They were farmers & had quite a bit of acreage that they planted crops on. Her grandfather took them out to the barn where he had a huge pile of fossilized bones. They had just been authenticated as Mastodon. They were told that a man from the archeology department at the University of Nebraska had been there a few days prior with his findings. Unfortunately, there was no paperwork that came with them. Take a look. Let me know if this appears to be correct. And on that note I'm signing off (or out). Keep a look out for me as I'll be back later to tell you what I've accomplished so far. I sure hope I'm on the right track so far. Later, Tracy

Back in February I promised to have a few pictures from Tucson and I have very few pictures from Tucson, but decided to post them anyway. For those of you that are unaware: Tucson hosts the largest rock, fossil, gem and mineral show in the world. There are roughly 37 shows and around 4,000 vendors for roughly three weeks in February every year. As posted by many other members, it is probably impossible to see everything (wife tried to see all the bead shows once), and stopping to take pictures sometimes is forgotten. These are just a few of the sights. These Photos are all from Inn Suites I'm sure others can give additional information, I just took pictures. Jim Old Dead Things
