Uncle Siphuncle Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Better preservation than I'm used to seeing. Not much redepositing involved. Grüße, Daniel A. Wöhr aus Südtexas "To the motivated go the spoils." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That is quite the toe bone! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Now we are talking! Nice find. Whats the geology there? Is that from a stream/channel type deposit? Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Nice find. Would be interested in what period and type of location that was found in. Two thumbs up, or in this case just toes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinodigger Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Seymour formation is pretty cool. deposited in middle pleistocene. Ice sheets didnt reach that far south. Not as hot in the summers and pretty mild winters. Massive stream channel deposits with a yellowstone originating volcanic ash bed separating two sand and gravel deposits. nice soil development features with articulated specimens collected by Olson in the 60s.

Thanks for the detail. We have some neat river/stream deposits here and lots of reworked stuff. Occasionally there is even sink hole material. The University has had some digs in those. I specialize in broken unrecognizable/unidentifiable bone fragments when I get the chance to get out. LOL. Continued hunting success. Thanks again.
