Top drawer specimens all; the Glyptodont claw core is new to me. Congrats!

Nice stuff, Nate.

Just to clarify, the canine is from a "bear-dog", not a bear. You can read a little more HERE. An even more interesting fossil than a bear canine if you ask me!

Hi,

Ah OK, the precision is important for strangers (in the night)...

We don't find a lot of land mammal material in Virginia. Any of your specimens could be the land mammal find of a lifetime from Virginia for a lot of collectors. That bear dog canine is totally awesome!

Thanks Cris. Bear dogs are much, much less common than bears!

Awesome pieces all. Man, I really get a kick out of seeing such nice examples. Kind of fills me with hope that I'll find something as cool, and complete, one day.

Thanks for sharing Sir. Most appreciated.

Amazing stuff, as usual. Thanks for sharing them with us, especially the bear-dog canine.

Holy cannoli, that IS scarier than a bear! Yikes, I'd hate to have a run in with one of those walking down some dark ravine. Sorry about the misnomer, I see so many posts where the ID is not completely known so they don't know if it is bear or canine. I thought you were saying it like bear/dog. My apologies.

No really, the bear dog is a much better find, and it looks soooo good too.
