Michigan Kid Finds Rock That Turns Out To Be 10,000 Year Old Mastodon Tooth
(CNN) -- Mastodons -- elephant-like beasts that lumbered across North America more than 10,000 years ago -- are long extinct, but apparently it wasn't tooth decay that did them in.
A 9-year-old Michigan boy stumbled across something -- literally -- that, it turns out, is a mastodon tooth.
"I was walking down at the creek last summer. I felt something that I stepped on so I picked it up and everybody in the neighborhood thought it was pretty cool," Philip Stoll told CNN on Friday.
