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.

This post is a bit of a downer

I have been walking Mcfaddin Beach on the Texas Gufl Shore. The condition of this beach is very disappointing. The amount of garbage that I see on this beach is disgusting. Most appears to have been left by beach goers. I would not visit this beach to enjoy the sun or the sand. I have also seen remnants of dozens of Mylar balloons, thousand of yard of nylon rope amd fishing line, oil filters, discarded tents, etc. There is plastic in almost every square foot of soil.

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.
