Sacha Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 These 2 items were the only finds of interest on my trip to the Peace yesterday. I'm assuming the vert is mastodon or mammoth, but the other little item is a stumper. I feel like I've seen it before somewhere, but I can't place it. One wing is broken, but I couldn't toss it back before finding out what it is. I'll post the 2nd view in the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 John, I have found only a couple much more worn than yours and considered it a likely section of a turtle/tortoise Nuchal scute. I found this Vertebrae a couple of years back and believe it to be Mastodon because of teeth and tusk found in the same location.. Not sure if Mammoth is distinguishable from Mastodon. I was also out yesterday, maybe we were in relatively close proximity.

Jack I expect to see you guys on my way back downstream on my way home, but all I see is Fred Mazza's groups. Hope the rain this weekend doesn't put us off for a couple weeks!
