Meganeura Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) So finally getting around to posting my finds from my last trip 2 weeks ago. All of this comes from a 12 foot by 8 foot section of gravel, which is… pretty mind blowing to me. To start off the finds… Tortoise! I grabbed 1 chunk of shell - there were multiple others that were equally as big and I just didn’t have the room for all of them. Found 30 tortoise spurs and 2 claws as well: (Also included with the claws are an earbone and a deer distal phalanx/claw core) Next up… 9 Glyptodon osteoderms, including 1 spike osteoderm and 2 juvenile osteoderms: Other armadillo stuff - 1 Holmesina sp. osteoderm, 1 P. Leiseyi, and 6 D. Bellus: 32 Gar fish scales: A gorgeous and large snake vert, as well as the Puma concolor thoracic vert that I had posted for ID: 4 Equus horse teeth: 2 Deer teeth, a Peccary tooth, a rodent jaw, a Cormohipparion ingenuum upper premolar, a raccoon canine, and a racoon jaw with 2 teeth: And finally, a gorgeous Meg, 2 tapir teeth, a tapir incisor, a wrasse mouth plate, and an unerupted piece of mammoth molar: Overall a pretty awesome haul!

digit Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I'd say so! If you have articulating pieces of tortoise shell Jason at the FLMNH might like to know about this. Cheers. -Ken 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. -Ken I'm not entirely sure if they're articulated - I'll have to head back out there and grab them and find out. I did only grab the one piece, but I'd be more than happy to share em!

Bjohn170 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Some really great finds! I love all the mammal teeth and jaw sections, and the large armadillo osteoderm. I was bummed I wasn’t able to hunt the Peace River while I was in the area in December, but I’m excited to come back down! Hopefully I’ll have trips have as successful as you! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The mammal teeth are definitely my fav finds at this point! And with what Ian seems to have done to the rivers… I think you’ll find yourself with quite a few goodies when you do hunt again! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
digit Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 If you get back there soon (and why wouldn't you revisit that honey hole?) you might bring a bucket. Cheers. -Ken Link to post Share on other sites

digit Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Might be worth the extra effort if these finds evolve into an associated set of pieces. Just a little blood, sweat and tears for science. Cheers. -Ken 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Nimravis Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Daniel- You found a great honey hole. Shark teeth are okay, but I would rather find all of the other pieces that you found. And yes, go back and grab those other pieces, they may fit together. Link to post Share on other sites
