Hey Jenn! Wanted to just say GREAT coverage of the Snowmastodon stuff! Our band has written a song about it… TWO actually. Two versions of a song and would love for you to visit our site and vote for which one you prefer! Trying to get the word out about this amazing find! Hope you enjoy the tunes! Let us know!

There is so much more to come on this amazing story. The DMNS team of paleonotologists will be returning to Snowmass in early May 2011 to continue the exploration. Click to http://www.snowmasstodon.com for more on the story and photo albums.

The volunteers told you wrong. Ground sloths were vegetarians, not insect-eaters.

Check out my website–it’s all about the Pleistocene ecology of southeastern North America.

Probably a long shot, unfortunately, unless they find a shelf/conk fungus stuck to some of that old (beaver-gnawed) wood. You’ve seen what inevitably happens to agarics after a few days . . . sadly, I doubt we could find any of them intact — but maybe (probably?) you could find their spores in the dirt under a microscope . . .

Yeah, props to the guy in the bulldozer! Still makes me wonder if they are going to find fungi in up there?

[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Amy Helfman, MIT Science Writing. MIT Science Writing said: How much do I love the term "emergency paleonotological response team?" http://bit.ly/h9ojrk […]
