Student Digs for Fossils

Mountain Oaks student Dallis Donnell was given the opportunity to experience Paleontology at a fossil site at an undisclosed location. Dallis assisted a Paleontologist/Zoologist and a Naturalist in recovering a fossilized tusk from a Gomphothere which was a four-tusked Proboscidean ancestor of the modern elephant. This fossil is thought to be between five and ten million years old, with of course no exact date of fossilization. Due to the vulnerability of the tusk, it took around eight hours to carve out the surrounding rock to be able to wrap the fossil. Click article title to see pictures. Posted 2/5/21
