Comments on: A follow-up story in the paper http://slothcentral.com/archives/52 A 12,000 year-old mystery in SW Iowa Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:09:54 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Holmes Semken http://slothcentral.com/archives/52/comment-page-1#comment-687 Holmes Semken Wed, 24 Dec 2008 18:17:42 +0000 http://slothcentral.com/?p=52#comment-687 Dave, Digging a dry hole can not be all bad. I have received five messages about what good time everyone had. Here is a sample. Lynn noted that she had a grand time last weekend and is looking forward to the next opportunity to dig. Ausi, a high school student, wrote that it helped to secure my life dream of becoming a paleontologist and wants to go again. Congeniality at the site was mentioned twice. The slothers are a super group. We did learn a lot, aside from adding a snapping turtle to the meager list of associated fauna. We now know the limits of bone distribution to the north, east and south of the bone concentration. We can now concentrate on digging proven ground. It is still exciting.
