Mastodon bones found in backyard in Orange County, New York
The more they dig, the more mastodon remains they find in Orange County, New York. The Ice Age mammals went extinct 11,000 years ago.

It's amazing to think about these huge creatures walking around! The environment could certainly be a factor. Interestingly, palaeontologists can tell from the teeth that they probably ate more woody plants, fruits, &c. By contrast, mammoths have very different teeth and probably ate mostly grass.

This is an amazing fossil. Even better, it was discovered by two children just out fishing!
