The years I was up on the North Slope, North of the Brooks Range was 1950 and 1951. Once a short time after that. Every few weeks someone on the crew would come across a partially frozen and buried carcass of a mammoth. The tooth I found was in a dry wash, in an area of many rounded stones about the size of the tooth. It was on the west side of the Naval Petroleum Rreserve There was a Bison found further south by gold miners that was estimated to be 35,000 years old and claw marks indicate it was killed by a lion. (see Guthrie, Dale and Guthrie, Mary Lee "Death on the steepe: the case of the frozen bison" New Scientist No. 1727, 28 July 1990 p. 47-51) George Erich _____________________________________________________________________ Public Seismic Network Mailing List (PSN-L)
