Maclura--update

[monique at bio.tamu.edu]

So far, the guesses are:

large herbivores--maybe mastodons--need a willing elephant to taste test
decay--ie, meant to just drop and rot
stuck to wild horses' feet--might work; they're certainly gluey enough
flotation --haven't been able to test this one as they're gone for the 
      year--anybody got a fresh one and a bucket of water?


current distribution patterns seem to involve juvenile Homo sapiens.  Word is 
they make great (if temporary) softballs.


Keep the ideas coming!

Happy Thanksgiving,
Monique
