The most complete ice age mastodon skeleton found in Michigan since the 1940s was recovered this month by a University of Michigan-led team that included Tuscola County teachers who volunteered for the dig.
More than 75 complete or nearly complete bones, accounting for 60-70 percent of the extinct mammal’s skeletal mass, were recovered during the four-day dig at the Fowler Center for Outdoor Learning near Mayville, in Michigan’s Thumb region.
The dig ended Sunday.
