Hunting the Pleistocene with Desert Dog

If you like speculative fiction along with a good background for the question, "what's a good three rifle battery for Pleistocene park?", you'll like this video.

Aww I thought you went out fossil hunting. I collect Pleistocene megafauna in Australia. Donated hundreds of specimens to the QLD Museum. Here’s a croc jaw from us that made it on display.

For Aus Pleistocene a .375 would be overkill for almost everything. We had 20’ lizards but the rest weren’t that big, small SUV for the largest. Biggest kangaroos were only 7-8’ tall. Diprotodon incisors (upper and lower) could make a cool trophy display.

Very nice! I've only managed to fossil hunt trilobites myself.

I live among Pleistocene glacial deposits in Southern Ontario but I've never come across bones. I found a piece of ~40k old wood in some lakeshore bluff sediments while doing some geology fieldwork 25 years ago.

Nice, it’s good to see they are preserved, studied or displayed.
Are there any rules around collecting the bones or remains of theses extinct species?
