    Really a great fun visit to the Shoshone Museum. If you enjoyed Sarah Jane’s tour consider stopping and joining the museum association. The gift shop and museum are free to visit. Donations are greatly appreciated to keep the facility open and running. Joining is a great way to make a contribution to sustain the efforts there. It is a Mojave Desert treasure. Thank you Sarah Jane for sharing the wonder there.

    As a child growing up in Northridge CA in the early 1960's....I don't know where it came from but, we had a Desert Tortise in our backyard with our family name painted on it in nail polish....Things people did way back then. They were quite common amongst the childrenn of the neighborhood. No wonder they went onto the extiction list in the 1980's.

      As far as I know the desert tortoise is not extinct. They sometimes shut down operations on the Twenty Nine Palms Marine base to defer to the needs of this little critter. Also there are officially certified keepers of desert tortoises to keep critters safe that had to be removed for more "important" matters in the ventures of humans.

    Hi Sarah Jane. Those fossils are a big deal to palaeontologists (archaeologists do the human stuff), paleontologists do fossils. As for the fossilisation of the bones, what happens in most fossils is that the original bone material is replaced (in part, at least) by minerals which water carries in to replace the bone which makes many fossils pretty heavy. This is particularly interesting because the mineraIisation process did not occur in Tecopa because of the the dry environment. The Lake Tecopa fossils are rare and may contain information which is lost in the more usual fossilisation process. Best wishes to John the custodian of some scientifically very interesting material.

    small town museums sometimes seem like they were only built for elementary School field trips, with some rudimentary geology and archaeology and a few old local items. But the exceptional ones make it all worthwhile. I used to have going to museums as a hobby, perhaps I will take it up again.

    Seeing that Coyote and then the Blasting machine def reminded me of Wile E. Coyote trying to catch that blasted Road Runner Meep, meep my azz, ha, in the 70’s patches were all the rage and there was a patch that showed Wile finally catching the Road Runner and strangling the life out of him, we would put the patches on our Denim Jackets, showing my age here! I actually saw a RRunner on the Desert floor Twice, very interesting museum, sry I missed it when I visited DV back in 1991! Good stuff!,

    A mastodon a camel and a wolf ...walk into a sand bar..... back when I took geology at sanbernardino valley college in the mid 1970's I went with a group of fellow students and our professor to death valley for a feild trip. fun class teacher was awesome. You might say the geologist is the one that finds the area and the archeologist does the examination of the findings so in a way they work together usually both are involved.

Thanks.

      @@jnielsen1956 I think that's a splendid idea. But to avoid any issues use a list of videos parents are unlikely to get upset about. She never crosses the line IMHO, but let's face it, some parents are more sensitive than others. Might want to keep her UA-cam moniker on the DL too.

I probably would not need to take Nasacourt if I lived in a desert somewhere. It is allergy sufferers utopia for sure. I have never been allergic to mudhills.

While having travelled to many places in this state, there is still so much to see. Thank you for the opportunity to sit in the comfort of my home & enjoy the videos & information that you have researched.
    BTW, true Northern Californians do not care for anyplace being referred to as Nor Cal that is south of the Chico/Fort Bragg/ Quincy area. We consider that to be Central Cal.
    Keep up the good work. I will be looking forward to new videos while also catching up on the older ones.
