I need information on digging up a mastadon?? skeleton on my land in West Texas. It was discovered about 20 yrs. ago
when a road was being put in that area. The road crew went
another direction and avoided this skeleton, leaving it buried. It is still there.

Such a tragedy. Actually, i don’t think science OR the public are served well when dinosaurs, or fossils for that matter, are “treated as cash cows”. Furthermore, a children’s museum is having to cough up over $8 million for it (i feel it should have been mush less, or better yet donated). From what i have heard, Tinker’s bones weren’t treated with glue or consolidant, so many of his bones are in poor condition. Tragedy indeed…
