Specimen GallerySome of the bones initially had the consistency of "bran muffins", while others were more solid. A conservation process requiring almost 2 years has produced a number of stable large identifiable pieces plus a great many bone fragments. Here are some of the best ones:
 Tusk section - note the pulp cavity on the right and two small sections of the outer layer of the tusk still adhering.
Three mid-back vertebrae.
Acetabular fossa section of the pelvis showing partial ilium, ischium and pubis.
First rib.
Palatal section of the skull showing the distinctive Mastodon molars.
Mandible of a juvenile Mastodon found at the site in 1993.
One of the many fossil Painted Turtle shells found. |
