PrehistoricFlorida Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Pleistocene. This is what I would call a "teenage mastodon", not a juvenile, but not yet an adult. The adult 4-5 humpers would have been the next teeth to erupt. www.PrehistoricFlorida.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly, it is not mine. It was found by a young boy while fishing with his father. If you are in the neighborhood next weekend, we'll be digging cretaceous material, and all are welcome.

We will be staying in Clearwater, if thats close to where you are. I assume when you say Clearwater that you mean Piedmont? Clearwater is the school district. It is about 60 miles west of here, maybe a little less, rugged drive though. Brent Ashcraft ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiphactinus Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I suggest sending the photo to Mastodon State Park in Jefferson County. They can tell ya what you want to know. Mike - unfortunately, I haven't found the staff at Mastodon St. Park to be very knowledgable behond the talking points they have about the site there. I brought in some bones to try and ID and they ended up having me go in the back to help ID their fossils! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashcraft Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Brent - was this the same find? In the Embarass River Looks like the Atlas vert? Full Story No, but it looks like I need to give up fossil hunting and start fishing if I want to find some Pleistocene material...... ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
