mommabetts Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I seen that on TV the other day. I think someone had it as a pet, it died and they buried it many years ago and they found it end of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted May 12, 2009 Author Share Posted May 12, 2009 It hasn't been in any experts hands yet from what I've heard. To me it looks like it has undergone some mineralization, primate fossils have been found in texas before. *Shrugs* I'm not making an conclusions until its been examined and I don't think it will be.

When I saw it on the news, it didn't look like it had fossilized or started to me. When I was a kid, it was pretty common to see people with chimps and monkeys, I think that is probably where it came from, one of the pets died and they buried it. I don't think that it is that old.

Boesse Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 looks like a baboon, definitely modern. I agree, probably someone's pet or from a zoo/testing facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
