The old Indian legend is that the top of Table Mountain was cut off by Coyote and taken to the middle of the Valley so he’d have a dry place to stay in winter and where it is now known as the Sutter Buttes.
My uncles used to take me along when they went deer hunting up there, back before it was carved up into small parcels. I have to admit that Table Mountain never looked much good as a gold claim or as dinosaur habitat. All I ever saw up there was manzanita and jack rabbits.

The Dept. of Fish and Game notified Dr. Warren Meeker, PhD in paleontology at UC Irvine. Meeker and several research assistants from the LaBrea Museum of Natural History arrived on scene Tuesday and just about 6 hours ago they confirmed this was indeed a large (very large) fossilized dinosaur! In fact, they felt 99% certain it was an Acrocanthosaurus, from the family of allosaurids a dinosuar known to be in North America, but not previously known west of the Rockies.
