Nope. No capuchin monkeys. But I saw the original pictures and the original fossils along with the tusk that had been shoved in the ground. However we do know that members of the genus Homo were making their way around the world with breathtaking speed it was only a matter of time until they hit the states and they did. At Cerutti, Calico, along with my acheulean axes and knives. No hominid skeletons, let's put that strawman argument to rest once and for all. How many undisputed clovis skeletons are there? Exactly one last time I looked and they buried that kid yesterday in comparison to Cerutti.

And if you ignore, ridicule or dismiss the evidence. And instead listen to those who refuse to even look at it because it will torpedo their most cherished dogmas, and eviscerate their sacred cows then that isn't science that's religion.

Anyhow I just got a whole bunch of rocks some with stromatolites, some without but look like they might have them (You know I want some pseudo-fossils too to act as a data base and control for the genuine fossils. You know science.) along with a beautiful meteorite that will start to round out my collection to show the history of life and evolution on earth.
