Whew. Last one with identifying marks to identify. Is a museum cast. UNSM 4616 Sure, I could email the collections curator at Morril Hall, but I’m afraid to wear out my welcome. As of yet have been unable to find data on this one on my own. Figure I’ll give yinze a crack at it before I bother the museum for the twentieth time. My research shows this to be a camel of some sort. It is likely Nebraska or South Dakota in origin for the original due to the provenance of the other casts yinze have seen me dealing with the last few weeks. This is a pretty poor cast with lots of missing parts broken off from poor storage. In fact, it is so bad I’m considering doing a full on arty reconstruction as it is not suitable for display or education in its current form. Due to the pigmented plaster, it does not photograph well. Cannot find a single reference to this number online. ( doesn’t help there’s a wristwatch and a snake fossil with similar ID numbers) Any ideas? I really want to finish ID of these casts so I can focus on real fossils!
