13,600-year-old mastodon skull found in Iowa creek
It marked the first-ever well-preserved mastodon skull excavated in Iowa, state officials said.
A 13,600-year-old mastodon skull was uncovered in an Iowa creek, state officials announced this week.
Iowa's Office of the State Archaeologist said in a social media post that archaeologists found the well-preserved skull on the side of a creek bed in Wayne County Wednesday at an excavation site they had been mining over the last 12 days.
Throughout the almost two-week dig, several mastodon bones were recovered, but the skull was something unique, as it was the "first-ever well-preserved mastodon (primarily the skull) that has been excavated in Iowa," the post read.
Now waiting to find a Lemmy skull
Federate skulls now!
But Iowa is only about 6,000 years old...
Beat me to it
Yes these were not saved by noah during the flood because Mastadons were well known sinners. /s
Those tusks were made for sinning.
mastodon mentioned ✊
The excavators suddenly hear a rock guitar:
What is with CBS loading a similar, but unrelated video at the top of articles lately? This happened with another story I was reading just this morning on CBS, where the video was the same type of event that the article was talking about, but from a totally different time/place.
Respect your users' bandwidth. If you're going to auto-play a video attached to a news article, then make sure it's related to the article.
I expect that video based ads make more money than static ads in-line in the article. This the incentive to do such confusing and wasteful thing.
Is it planning to run for President?
Its around the right age
