pozbronx2 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi, I found this unusal partial sacrum that I can't identify. Its not from a harlan or jefferson ground sloth. I think I have it narrowed down to a glyptodont or eremotherium. The openings are not the primary foramen and correspond to much smaller openings on a jefferson sacrum I've compared it with. I have not found other eremotherium fossils in the area I collect in but this may be an exception. Any info you can provide would be much appreciated.

RichW9090 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Way too small for Eremothere. Let me see if I can dig out my copy of Gillette and Ray. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWill Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Welcome to the forum. Nice find and good photos. What do you know about the formation it was found in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbronx2 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Bob, It was found on a gravel bar on the Coloradao River. Likely from the La Brea timeframe. Rich, I wasn't having much luck matching it up with photos from Gillette and Ray. Perhaps the text will provide additional info which I haven't read up on yet. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
