The rhetoric was getting hotter than asphalt in August. Katrina isn't the only thing going on in the world. One has to keep these things in perspective.

Here are some more links regarding the story:

Town gives $3k to museum for study & preservation of finds.

That's pretty cool. It's nice to see the town and the developer realize the importance of the finds. With all the construction in the region, it's not surprising finds like this would emerge.

Dig wraps up

It would be cool to see the castings of the fossils somewhere displayed in the shopping mall when it's done. A savvy developer would even come up with a "fossil" theme to the shopping center and make it a quasi-tourist attraction.

"We're having a Mammoth sale!"
