When I was back out on the Peace River Friday I was pulling up a lot of small shark teeth and miscellaneous pieces of bone. At pone point I looked into the sifter and spotted what looked like a piece of a giant armadillo scute. I was disappointed because it was a small piece, but clearly a scute. I had retrieved a couple of whole ones in the same spot on previous visits. Just as I was about to toss it back I spotted another small piece in the sifter. I decided to hang onto both and as I cleared the sifter I found three more pieces for a total of five. At that point I was not even sure the pieces were all from the same scute but figured I could try and fit the pieces together at some point. Today was my first chance to do so. I was pleasantly surprised to find that all the pieces were from the same source and fit together nicely. My only regret is that I missed one small piece. Here is the rebuilt specimen: The blue ruler is millimeters and the pink inches. The reverse side where the individual pieces can be easily seen: Looks like the summer rains may hold off long enough for me get back out there later this week!

I hit my honey hole at Post Oak Creek Texas again. I found a few good Ptychodus teeth, another crustacean and my first giant armadillo scute. it was worth the 5 hr round trip.
