Flint found in 45,000 yr old Arctic mammoth
I have months of unread Science magazines since I
returned home from my winter travels.
I am thinking that there is no doubt that these were
Pre Clovis hunters.
I am also thinking that this mammoth got away from
the hunters. Flint tips found in two ribs and several
other similar wounds.

I wanna find a point stuck in a bone... Crazy how little we actually know about our past but on the same token it's insane that we know so much from so little!

Or is it crazy that we assume we know so much from so little?

Good points gents. I think it is a little of both.
Science is not as rock hard as our flints

Although finds like this damn old elephant kill
is a very cool thing to be able to know about.
Most times these finds just get bull dozed
under the city streets.

Perfect example, in fort hood our live fire area has all sorts of mammoth bones and such. But the army drops so much ordinance into there that no one is aloud in due to the stuff that's dropped and doesn't blow up. So technically the army is using fossils for target practice. Waco has a mammoth dog that's just half excavated because they lost funding. All around it is houses. Crazy sauce.

When I was a kid of about 10, my family took a trip to a game farm in the upper northwest corner of Washington state. At the time there was a mastodon dig site near by. We added this to our trip. while we was standing on the edge of this pit they had dug, you can see bones in the bottom. my little brother started tossing rocks in the hole, (there was a frog in the bottom) my mom put a stop to that before the curators seen.
now years later I learned something new about this site. they found a bone point in one of the bones, this mastodon was hunted by man. hope you enjoy. Ed

It's cool to read this about isolated mastodon and mammoth sites. It's refreshing to see all of the publicity when one is found. Down here it is nothing to come across horse, camel. giant armadillo plates and mastodon an mammoth teeth and real lucky to find the whole critter or prehistoric horse skeleton while we are snorkeling the local rivers. And also at work in the Bone Valley area of the Phosphate mines.

A friend has a website you can check out, just do a google search of "Paleo Enterprise", it's a commercial site so you have to do a little work.

FL fossils are awesome Eddie. I have quite a few
elephant ones. Got them before the new laws.
Here is my best from High Springs.
