Megalonyx jeffersonii, ( Sloth Skull )
Age: Pleistocene
Location: West Virginia
Size: 11" x 9" x 6 1/2"
Cost: $375
Item # mam/slothsk-bsr375/rg
FYI:
President, Thomas Jefferson,
scientifically described fossil bones given to him by saltpeter miners found in
a Monroe County cave in 1797. Jefferson thought they were the claws of a giant
cat. In 1799 Casper Wistar re-described the bones as a new species of extinct
giant ground sloth and named it in honor of President Jefferson. Only recently
have the bones been Carbon 14 dated at over 38,000 year old.
On March 8, 2008 Megalonyx jeffersoni became the official state fossil of West
Virginia. The idea of a WV State Fossil was the brain child of Ray Garton, a
geologist and paleontologist from Fairmont, WV. Ray had the vision and wrote the
resolution, but he had the assistance of many people in making the idea a
reality. Ray’s colleagues, were his sounding board and support system through
several years of trial and error. These people include his wife Mary Ellen, Fred
Grady, Hassan Amjad, Robert Pyle, and Dave Phillips. When the idea was put
before the legislature it was Delegate Mike Burdiss (Wyoming County) that took
the reins and held to a steady course seeing it through to the successful end
that we celebrate here today. Last, but certainly not least, other important
legislative assistance came from Senator Roman Prezioso (Marion County),
Delegate Joe Talbott (Webster County) and Senator Jon Hunter (Monongalia
County). |

Megalonyx jeffersoni ( Sloth Claw )
Distal phalaynx 3rd claw from the left.
Age: Pleistocene
Location: Cromer Cave, West Virginia
Size:6"
Cost: $30
Item # mam/slothclw-bsr-30rg
FYI:
West Virginia legislators have made some of its
bones the new official state fossil.
The Megalonyx
jeffersonii has quite a story.
In the 1790s,
workers mining for saltpeter in a Monroe County limestone cave - in what was
then western Virginia - discovered fossil bones that later ended up with
President Thomas Jefferson.
Serving at the
time as vice president for John Adams, Jefferson presented the bones at a
meeting of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia in 1797. He noted
that the remains were found buried three feet deep in the cave.
Jefferson considered the fossils fascinating and
thought they belonged to a prehistoric lion. After all, the claws appeared large
enough to squash basketballs, but Caspar Wistar, a physician and anatomist,
deflated Jefferson's theory and identified it as a ground sloth from the North
American Ice Age.
Ground sloth's
died out as late as 1550.
This particular species of ground sloth was the
largest known of the Megalonyxe's. When fully grown, they were about the size of
an ox and weighed 800 pounds. The sloth had a snout, peg-like teeth and a stout
tail. Though Jefferson was wrong about the bones, he is still credited for
their discovery, hence the fossil name, Megalonyx jeffersonii - or "Jefferson's
giant claw." His speech in Philadelphia also marked the beginning of vertebrate
paleontology in North America. |

Darwinius masillae
[ Missing Link ]
Age: Eocene.
Location: Messel, Germany.
Size: 8" 16"
Cost: $250
Item # mam/darwin-bsr250rg
Note:
This specimen is a sculpture based on
the original specimen of Darwinius masillae.
The only
known specimen of Darwinius masillae, dubbed Ida, was discovered in 1983 at
the Messel pit, a disused shale quarry noted for its astonishing fossil
preservation, near the village of Messel, about 35 km (22 mi) southeast of
Frankfurt am Main in Germany. The fossil, divided into a slab and partial
counterslab after the amateur excavation and sold separately, was not
reassembled until 2007. The fossil is of a juvenile female, approximately 58
cm (23 in) overall length, with the head and body length excluding the tail
being about 24 cm (9.4 in). It is estimated that Ida died at about 80–85% of
her projected adult body and limb length.
Darwinius masillae, Ida the missing link is thought to be the ancestor
fossil of all Apes and Humans.
FYI: The finding of this fossil and her
story was aired on TV in June of 2009 on the Discovery Channel and was named
Ida for the daughter of the paleontologist that bought and cleaned her bones.

Stegodon
Stegodon are one of the largest of extinct
elephants species (Proboscidean) with adults
being 13 feet high at the shoulder, 26 feet long, not including 10 foot long
nearly straight tusks. The genus Stegodon, (from Greek stegos: meaning roof,
and odon: meaning tooth, referring to the step ridges on the molar tooth) has
its origins in the late Miocene of Asia and belongs to the family
Stegodontidae. There are 6 recognized species. Stegodons probably originated
from Gomphothierium, and developed into a new direction with increase molar
size and ridge-like dental features. The tusks were so close together that the
trunk probably did not lay between them but instead draped over. Stegodon
moved into Africa in the Pliocene and is regarded as the ancestor to present
day elephants, as well as the extinct mammoths. The oldest finds of Stegodon
are found in Asia and are dated to about 10 millions years (Late Miocene) but
may have persisted to as recently as 15,000 years ago. Stegodon diet consists
of branches and foliage of trees. This skeletal cast presented is among the
largest known.
