Gonna start an image blog of Calgary, the city that's perpetually under-construction and never, ever there. A melancholy day made worse by the landscape...
They're everywhere these, the roadside-flattened-squirrels; Calgary should make a giant welcome mat out of them, if only to protect you from the needles...
I should print up a bunch of Artists Cards and leave them at these little extemporaneous found-art discoveries...

On my list of YouTube recommendations, sometimes it gets it right. 20 minutes of watching somebody unbox a shit-tonne of treasure - some absolutely fantastic finds - including the Digital Bulova Driver, The Vintage Rolex, Hamilton Electric...kinda makes me want to go garage saling real bad. I'm definitely going to check out his shop next time I'm in Edmonton.

Today, quite possibly, quite likely given the weather, the last chance to go fossicking in Drumheller with the daughter.
A cool day, but better than weeks to come, we try a couple of new areas and find a new bonebed. The weather; cool, rainy, generally shit, and there's no climbing, the bentonite is far too slippery. But very shortly into the new bonebed I find this:
A reasonably large chunk of bone with a tooth embedded in it:
More clearly visible - the tooth at bottom indenting into the bone, just guessing but maybe Spinosaurus? The tooth measures approximately an inch, although I'd need to get a dental pick and clean it to be certain. What is cool - that something attempted to eat something else and left a bit of itself behind...
A piece of turtella, or fossilized shell accretion. Might polish up and look quite pretty.
And a couple of other smaller bones, more definition than most, one - maybe both - appear to be toe bones.

Lol. Found their channel on YouTube while looking for prospecting porn, basically a "team" of treasure hunters that have found a "secret" island covered in gold nuggets and diamonds. You watch it and very shortly figure out that it's entirely staged - and not too cleverly at that, then go to the comments and read all comments by the rubes who are impressed. First time I've ever felt compelled to leave a comment of my own...
