When a teacher from the Fowler Center day camp in Mayville, in Michigan’s thumb, went on a nature walk with students two years ago looking for clams and crawdads, they found something prehistoric.
It was the bone of a Mastodon, an extinct relative of the elephant that once roamed Michigan, about 14,000 years ago.
Professor Daniel Fisher says that’s why researchers were back there this past weekend, uncovering about a hundred more bones.
The dig continues this weekend.
