[QUOTE="Trapper62, post: 291923, member: 516"] Davey we have found numerous fossils in the Turtle Mountains, along with gemstones and one Viking related (?) artifact. We took the fossils to the State Geologist a few years ago to identify but was told that we needed to tell them where they were found before he could tell us anything about them. Which I get as he would know the geologic layer for the area but the landowner did not want the info out. Fortunately I know a Geology professor at NDSU who identified the bones from prehistoric horses that used to roam the plains as well as prehistoric three toed sloth. It is really crazy the number of fossils out there once you find them. All the gemstones that we have found have been garnet, largest about the size of a pencil eraser, but nice qualify. We have a mooring stone on the property that was identified by by Ed Milligan, a couple years ago I found a stone about the size of a basketball that had two distinct groves carved in it about an inch wide and deep and was flat on the bottom with two shallow groves. Was told it was Viking related but not positive but with the location to the mooring stone it could be. I will have to get some pictures to share of jawbones and pelvic bones of the horses and a 3' rib and claw from a sloth. Have you ever been to the Viking cave on the west side of the Turtle Mountians? [ATTACH=CONFIG]47466._xfImport[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]47467._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
