former caveman dinner

[mullet]

   I thought I'd share this with everybody.I don't know how familiar everybody is with fossils,but I thought since this is the caveman section I'd show you some remains of their chief prey.These pictures are the molars of  a species of small Mastodon and the Woolly Mammoth.I found the little 3 humper mastodon tooth at work and the Mammoth tooth diving the rivers.

I've seen one of those before - it's in the San Jacinto monument museum, I believe they found it in the marsh while building the road in. Nice find!

Cool stuff, Eddie. I've got a big chunk of mammoth molar that I got from your buddy Rick down at the Clinch River knap-in. Pretty fascinating stuff.

Golly! By the title I thought you were going to post some coprolite's (Fossilized human Pooh!)!!!

     Cool!  I am glad that you stated it was a mastodon tooth.  When I first looked at it, it look like fossilized " former cave man food ".
I have a Friend that lives on the peace river in Arcadia, and he has a nice peice of a pelvis of some sort of critter.  I have some pieces of sea cow rib, and some pieces I don't know what they are.  But he is in a nice place, and there is a deep hole in the river, right next to his house.  Yep it is on stilts.  But there are a lot neat stuff found in that river.  You have a couple of nice fossils.  I would like to find some like that.  Oh, while I am at it, when would be a good time to get together with, and your neighbor, to go over some knapping, and such.  I will buy the refreshments.  Are you still working in La. ?  I am retired, and pooor now.  My income has been cut in less than half.  But I can still afford to buy refreshments.  But anyhoo, I am not hindered by work anymore, so whenever it would be convenient for you let me know.  I would love to meet you, and go over knapping, and other primitive stuff.

  Sorry Wayne, I just saw this. The Mammoth tooth came out of the Peace River just a little south of Ft. Meade. If you want to get together and go by Claudes, send me a PM and I'll give you my phone number. Don't worry about the liquid refreshments, He is a teetotaler, but I always have some in the fridge in the shop. I'm going back to Brazil in a week or so but you can email me at work, just PM me.

That's cool. A friend of mine unearthed a juvenile mastadon in Indiana a couple of years ago. The irony was that it was in his sunflower dove field and our lab's kept messing with a "stick" where we were shooting and curiosity got the best of him (Veterinarian) and ended up excavating a fully intact juvenile mastadon. It's at the State Museum in Indianapolis on display.
