This site was one of our largest digs. This site caused us great problems too. Also, this is the only dig site that got a park named after our team. "Founders Park!" .... that is us!! We found many interesting bones at this site. During our dig (the pond location.) we hit a natural spring at 96 feet. Our pumps could not keep up with the inward flow. At this depth we lost all of our equipment and two interns too. As far as I know, both are still at the bottom of this pond. Our Boush pumps are still at this location in the fenced yard, we will moving them to site # MI-7702 (GC40TJ3) soon. (We have a water problem there too.)
After abandoning this site we moved north to a bridge dig site. See GC4K88F for our next dig.
This area was at the edge of a large 200 square mile marsh, 67,000,000 years ago. We dug this area and I have placed some of my dinosaur bones near the cache from my dino bone collection. Kids can take a bone home with them if they would like to do so. The cache is a small lock n lock, filled with good stuff. Also, a small path token for the FTF. Many bones are from a Macrophalansia. ( In my opinion.)
DINOSAUR FACTS:
Macrophalansia-
Meet Eaters, Fast! They could hit 40 KM / Hr in speed! Great sense of smell. They could smell prey from 3 KM away! They had infrared sense and hunted during the day and night! Hunted in packs from 10 to 20 units. 1200 to 2270 lbs. each in weight. Always Hungry!
Majungatholus- Plant Eaters, 7' Tall, 9'8" Long, 375 Lbs. Slow, A herd of over 6 was rare. Liked water areas. A dangerous area to be around. Moving top speed~ 12 MPH. , Likes Salads. (Hard on trees in their area.) I might not like this type of dinosaur!
Don't worry moms, these bones have no germs. They are over 67,000,000 years old from the late Cretaceous Period.
