7 years, 11 months ago7 years, 11 months agoHello Bruce @bmacfadden –
Leaving tomorrow, heading to Aurora to volunteer. Can’t wait to get back into Belgrade to look for any fossils – but especially mammal material!
See you soon!

I forgot you were going up to visit the Smithsonian to look at the fossils from Belgrade. Yes, I’m still interested – the fame hasn’t gone to my head! Can’t wait to get back there to look, but it seems not a lot to go by from your post. We’ll just keep looking.

Hey, @cferrara, it was great to have dinner with you, @jkallmeyer, @bmacfadden, @egardner, @smoran, @lhigginbotham, and so many other wonderful folks. Can’t wait for the museum tour, the breakout sessions, and Paul Sereno’s talk tomorrow!

8 years, 6 months ago8 years, 6 months agoHi Bruce,
I hope Aldo did well – he is one of our scholarship recipients. That is great news about the peccary! When I found my Equus horse tooth in 2007 was when I acquired Lauck Ward’s paper describing the geology of the Belgrade area (it helped me to better understand the geology). As per our conversation about understanding where and ho…[Read more]

There are discrepancies in the geology and descriptions in the documents I have in my library that I have found. The most consistent is Geological Survey Bulletin 1457-f (1978) by Lauck W. Ward, “Stratigraphic revision of the Middle Eocene, Oligocene, and Lower Miocene – Atlantic Coastal Plain of North Carolina.” Check this…[Read more]

I think that’s a great idea! I was just up there in Gainesville on Sept 19 and Roger Portell was showing me how they are making room for new cabinets (I was asking all kinds of questions). The only specimens to be kept there will be identified or cataloged; the others that have not been will be kept at another location and they…[Read more]

I feel that the Equus horse tooth and Victor’s (@vperez) peccary astragalus came from a Pliocene layer — the Duplin formation, and possibly the Belgrade formation (late Miocene). Due to the close proximity to the Neuse River and the Atlantic coast, this area was under water. If the sea level fell low enough during the…[Read more]

Hi Chuck @cferrara You indeed may be correct about the peccary astragalus. It might be early iocene, but it also could represent a younger and smaller form. The best thing we can find is diagnostic fossils like the teeth. Thanks to Linda @lmccall some of the folks from the NC Club have diagnostic early Miocene fossils from Belgrade. Thanks for…[Read more]
