Hi all:
While out on the recent Chepang trip I picked up an interesting looking “rock” along the riverbed that I have since confirmed as a petrified pre-historic (Pleistocene epoch) horse tooth! As an anthropologist I have had fun researching it and will turn it over (along with location found) to the National Archaeology Museum of Nepal when we are in the capital in a few weeks.
Yesterday while confirming my findings with the family over tea (literally), some of the prehistoric tooth dust fell directly into my tea! It tasted pretty good! Although I seem to be now growing a mane! Thought you all might have fun with the story and the pictures. (photos courtesy of Anastasia Carlson)
