Milford Mastodon Digs 1991-1993

In October 1991, Bob Grantham was the Curator of Geology at the Nova Scotia Museum when the phone rang and staff from National Gypsum Canada told him they had found bones and big teeth. For he and his team, this was the beginning of a year and a half of work to excavate one of the most complete Mastodon skeletons from an ancient sinkhole at the gypsum quarry as well a juvenile mastodon which was a first for Canada. Many other animals and plants were found with the bones. During this short presentation, Bob will share some of his insights and stories from collecting these important specimens.
Hosted by Tim Fedak, Curator of Geology at the Nova Scotia Museum

I found a rather BIG Atlas bone frozen in the dirt on the beach during super tides in Northern New Brunswick. Who could i contact to help i.d. this. When i looked it up, it gave me Wooly Rhino Atlas! Great talk thank you!
