Fossil Bison skull found! Part !


 After a bit of an absence due to a family emergency I managed to get out on the river for a couple of days. Yesterday I found my first bison skull of the year. This was found in western Iowa and just after the break up of the ice so the water was cold. I Kayak the rivers and during this time of the year I wear chest waders to insulate myself from the freezing water but it is sometimes a challenge with leaks.

The videos of the bison skull recovery are in two parts because I had to put my phone down in order to dig it out of the river bed. At some point I am going to have to figure out a very light tripod or some similar way to focus my phone on a recovery.

Ancient Horse!

 Found my first fossilized or heavily mineralized horse teeth during a Long Beach walk today.

Ancient Human Remains.

 We find ancient human rains several times during a season of hunting. The sheriff is called and they stop by to pick them up. Them the remains are turned over to an authority who repatriate them to a local tribe.
