Iowa researchers have excavated the state's first well-preserved mastodon, helping to reveal interactions between early humans and these ancient creatures.
The excavation yielded several mastodon bones primarily from the skull, indicating a significant find that dates back 13,600 years.
We're really hoping to find evidence of human interaction with this creature, perhaps the projectile points and knives that were used to kill the animal.
Having stood at nearly 10 feet tall, this mastodon provides insights into prehistoric life and its potential interactions with early humans.
