MASTODON MATRIX PROJECT

Donald A. Windsor

At our Chenango Chapter meeting on Thursday evening, 7 June 2012, we examined soil taken from a mastodon excavation at Hyde Park.  President David Moyer divided a kilogram of soil among us and we carefully picked through it looking for the remains of plants, animals, stones, or unidentified objects.  Here are some candid photos of us in action.  Our results will be submitted to the Mastodon Matrix Project at the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca.
