Eric is the man! :)
In the Dynastinae subfamily, actually. The caked mud on it doesn't help in the ID process, unfortunately.
Thanks Cindy! That would explain the earth! I will check our the link & see if I can find a match.
Hi Karen, I think this is an Earth-Boring Scarab Beetle from the subfamily Bolboceratinae http://bugguide.net/node/view/19598
