Fruitbat Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks for all the kind words. worthy55....yes...they are all personal finds.

Guest Cris Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm very impressed... That is some seriously amazing stuff.... I think that mammoth tooth is what's been in Dan's dreams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Indeed that is a dream of mine...but perhaps I have not yet paid my dues as a river rat. One of these days I need to quit around with all the bits and pieces and just find the whole mammoth. I could make it fit in my living room. Grüße, Daniel A.

Guest N.AL.hunter Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Great stuff!! When I was out there searching I was looking for Titanothere stuff and found nada. Can't wait to see if you have anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Siphuncle Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Joe Did you say you hunted that Nebraska Oligocene stuff with Ken Smith? I know Bill Morgan collected there with him many years in a row. Bill lives a couple miles from me and I went to his house once and enjoyed seeing his collection. Lots of horse skulls, turtles, at least one nice side of a titantothere mandible, etc. Bill is a pretty good anatomist - he told me that an "unidentified humerus" in one of my reports was actually human!

Fruitbat Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Daniel.... Got the PM and will respond to it when I get home from work. I don't know Bill Morgan personally, though the name does sound familiar. Yes...I hunted the Nebraska/South Dakota/Wyoming sites with Ken Smith but it was back in the middle 1980s when a small group of us (Ken, Joe Kennedy, and myself) first started going up to those deposits. Fascinating that you found a human humerus in your wanderings. We did find a human skull cap in the banks of the North Sulfur River one time....a very curious one that had a number of the local paleontological/anthropological 'hotshots' in an uproar for a while. I don't know what ever happened to that skull piece (I was not the collector....and he has long since moved away). N.AL.Hunter.... I don't have much in the way of titanothere material primarily because I was always more interested in the Brule Formation than the Chadron Formation and titanotheres are far less common in the Brule. I did assist in a couple of excavations of complete or nearly complete titanothere skulls (and that is a CHORE!!). -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
