My vote is that they are Hellen Thomas’ original pearly whites.

Camilla lost her falsies?

[Gondring]

Too bad they aren't shown. I wonder how many alleged teeth he has recovered.

I'm also surprised at the paleobiologist claiming this extends the range, as I thought there were Equus finds in Ohio. Maybe only a slight increase in range?

[Gondring]

I meant Pleistocene Equus/i>, obviously.

Barker's interest in archaeology was piqued after he dropped out of university and got a job on a ginseng farm...

...he took his finds to Gary Warrick, associate professor of indigenous studies at Laurier Brantford...

...Barker searched around and found an archaeologist who knows about fossils: Dan Walker, assistant state archeologist for Wyoming.

 Smells like patchouli in here.

Put the Bonzo Dog Dodah Band on the turntable...

heh

Hope they cn get a good paleontologist in there. ...and heck, just because they were in water doesn’t mean there’s no stratigraphic info to glean...although maybe he’s “cleaned them up” by now.

Interesting find.

About 13,000 years ago, the glaciers began slowly melting and retreating north. As plants regrew, animals migrated north again. Then, large animals suddenly went extinct, for reasons scientists can't explain.

There's no evidence that Pleistocene horses migrated further north than southern Ohio and western Virginia, putting Ontario out of their range.

If the teeth do come from an ancient horse and not a 19th-century farm animal, it would be a significant find, showing the horse ranged further than archeologists believe. Proving it is the tough part.

How about Pack animals and wagon trains of Prehistoric Man?
I know -- no wheels. But they had sleds; so following the ice north ???

I am still surprised at the hubris of our supposed Wise Men, who think that Mankind only has history that is documented in some known fashion.

[Gondring]

BTW, I realize I dangled :-)

'cuz Carbon-14 varies it's rate of decay?

In the water, you can't find the horse teeth

Cause there ain't no one for to show you horse teeth....nah nah nahnahnahnahnah....

Hehehe... C14 tooth decay. Good one.
