10-year old finds Mammoth Tooth

Its not every day that you find a fossil sticking right out of the ground where you can just reach down and grab it, but that’s what happen to a 10-year kid locally, as he walked home from school. Being as large as a toaster it was apparently pretty hard to miss. Hopefully he donates it to the local museum where it should find a good home, along with a lot of other Pleistocene era fossils that have been found in Alaska.
