A couple of scenarios leap to mind: he changed his mind about the identity of the specimen between then and 2005; or he forgot to add it. A lot of the section relating to Springfield was reworked from his 1964 publication, and reusing canned text is an easy way to miss updating something.Justin Tweethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792470288586894872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574000839639433662.post-71205188575525567622015-10-29T20:26:40.441-05:002015-10-29T20:26:40.441-05:00From a June 6, 1997 Minnesota Daily story about Sl...From a June 6, 1997 Minnesota Daily story about Sloan's impending retirement:<br /><br />- Sloan also uncovered the only dinosaur fossil ever found in Minnesota, a bone from a duck-billed dinosaur.<br />"It was a crummy dinosaur tail bone, the least important fossil I ever found," Sloan said. "It came from the Oak Clay Pit in Springfield, Minnesota, which is where all the brick on the Minneapolis campus comes from."<br /><br />http://www.mndaily.com/1997/06/06/dinosaur-professor-ends-long-career-u<br /><br />Unless Sloan had a memory lapse or was misquoted, it would mean two dinosaur tail verts have been found in Minnesota. <br /><br /><br /><br />rynocerashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639526445617269796noreply@blogger.com
