Texas Elephant Teeth

The creeks here in Austin County are down low from the drought and wonderful things have appeared. When I look at one of these huge teeth I think about Clovis man going up against a six ton behemoth with his atlatl and spears. Remarkable people hunting remarkable animals with remarkable weapons.

Re: Texas Elephant Teeth

very cool find. we see similar fossil teeth up here in NETX. The fossils are much easier to find than the points around here

Re: Texas Elephant Teeth

Hey cool man......There are lots of mastadons found around washington, grimes and brazos counties along the brazos river....

Re: Texas Elephant Teeth

If you find more Elephant teeth than you can use, what do you plan to do with them?

Re: Texas Elephant Teeth

nice teeth.

Re: Texas Elephant Teeth

Thank you for your kind observations.
Silver, I don't use or need these ancient teeth, I just like them. I consider them to be a gravel bar bonus when I am really looking for artifacts. Several years ago I placed a couple of dozen wood duck nesting boxes along the creek and the activity they generate is always a plus in the spring and summer months.........sort of something to look forward to around the next bend in the creek.

Re: Texas Elephant Teeth

Sounds like fun.

Re: Texas Elephant Teeth

The Waco potentates have just anounced that the big Mammoth site [ thats big in area and number of animals ]
has been officially been taken into the National Park service, Now maybe some "recovery" funds will come pouring in to make it a good place to visit. Hopefully at least like the Glen Rose facilities !
