In 1971 a rockhound named Lin Ottinger was leading a  
field trip in the Big Indian Copper Mine (more recently 
called the Keystone Azurite Mine) near Moab, Utah, when  
he discovered major portions of two human skeletons bearing an  
interesting greenish color. A bulldozer there had recently removed  
about 15 feet of overburden, revealing the bones and inadvertently  
damaging some of them.  </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://paleo.cc/paluxy/moab-man.htm"> 
Marwitt led the remainder of the excavation, describing  
the bones as resting in loose, poorly consolidated blowsand,  
in contrast to the consolidated, hard sandstone further  
from the bones, comprising the host formation at the site.  
He also indicated that all the bones were unfossilized,  
that is, not heavily altered or replaced with secondary minerals,  
and looked essentially modern, other than the greenish staining  
due to contact with  
the copper bearing sediments immediately surrounding the bones.   
Marwitt concluded that the bones were unquestionably intrusive  
burials, probably only hundreds of years old.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://paleo.cc/paluxy/moab-man.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/paleo.cc/img/A8F1D2CA-03B0-4A8D-B3D9-86BEDED03BDC" alt="1990 burial" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/13AC1AEC-34D2-4168-AA07-ABE08C3DE2ED/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
