One week and counting!
Sunday, January 13th, 2008The Lone Star Mastodon Auction is only one week away.
Here are our top ten reasons to bid on the Lone Star Mastodon:
- 10. To own a piece of American History
9. To meet Joe Taylor as he delivers it personally
8. Bidding starts at only $60,000
7. This is the first and only mastodon skull ever found in Texas
6. A tiny LED light placed inside the root canal leading to the skull - the result looks like a spectacular ice cave, and a similar tiny LED light was also installed in the brain cavity so one can look in and see “what’s on its mind”
5. This LED technique has never before been used in fossil restoration
4. Restoration of the mastodon took a year and a half and 1500 man hours
3. To help our dear Christian brother, Joe Taylor
2. The Lone Star is the largest four tusk mastodon EVER Found
1. To save this precious find from the hands of those who tramp around the countryside bringing along valuable fossils to dangerous places like dig sites.
Online Bidding is going on now at Heritage Auction Galleries. You can also meet Joe Taylor and bid in Grand Format in Dallas, Texas on January 20th, 2008.
