Shellseeker Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Went out this morning to what is appearing to be another Blancan site. I hunted Blancan fossils at a different location from 2015 to early 2017. That old location is pretty much played out, but now I am finding Blancan index species at a new site. I feel blessed . Cold at the beginning 41/42 degrees at 8am. However the sun was shining and it reached 58 degrees by noon. My hunting buddy found a number of Makos including a perfect 2.75 silver blade/brown root. He also found 4 plates of a mammoth tooth. I was no slouch .. 15 each of nice unbroken tigers & duskys, 3.3 Makos, an equus upper m3/p2, 2 armadillo scutes, camel lower tooth, deer tooth, and these.... Those of you that know me realize that the 1st photo of Nannippus Peninsulatus (11x13x22 mm) was all that I needed for a GREAT hunting trip. The rest is gravy. Going out again tomorrow. 2 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 7 hours ago, ynot said: Thanks to each and every well wishing statement. I sent photos of the horse to Richard Hulbert. Quote The tooth is from a Nannippus, but not quite complete enough to make a species-level identification by itself. However, if associated with other Blancan fossils, it is most likely the species N. peninsulatus. Richard I am terrible at identifying specific species for ray denticles so any suggestions appreciated... I did go to a different location (different hunting friends) today but nothing spectacular -- Best was a 1.6 inch lower hemi with lots of small teeth and a couple of bruised Equus lower teeth. Wife is traveling until Sunday , so I am on dog watching duty for the next 5 days.. Glad I had some intense hunting times this last 10 days.
