It’s mine.
I’ve been trying to find that spear tip for a very long time..
PS - as proof of ownership I offer the following: I am right-handed.
I’ve been to that park. “Lick” is apparently local for “crick”, and there are lots of bones found there. Still makes you wonder how many tourists from San Francisco make the trip east in eager anticipation, only to have their desires dashed.
No. A lick is a mineral deposit, often salt, that has come to the surface, attracting herbivores and other animals. These animals literally lick the earth to get needed minerals; like waterholes in Africa, however, predators stalk the licks to cull the weak, sick, and/or unlucky.
Same principle applies today when a hunter lays down a salt pan for deer.
The continental shelf must have been exposed, and the temps were, like always, warmer at lower latitudes and lower altitudes. Once underwater archaeology becomes more common — and it makes a nice end-run around the NAGPRA nonsense — all of the limits on the antiquity of humans in the Americas are going to look ridiculous. Of course, that’s just based on what little has been found so far and by the common basic human behaviors. :’)

Thanks Marechal. That particular lick was set up for chubby animals, hence the name, big boned.
:’) Thanks. It sounds like a blues song title.
