It reminds me of this report about a mastodon skeleton that was found in Johnstown, Ohio, in 1926

https://www.downtownjohnstown.org/johnstown-mastodon.html

One of the most celebrated events of Johnstown’s history took place on August 12, 1926. It was the discovery of a nearly complete mastodon skeleton found by tenant farmer James Bailey on the farm of Friend Butt.

The Johnstown Mastodon is recognized by paleontologists as one of the best mastodon specimens ever recovered. It has been determined that the Johnstown Mastodon is the skeleton of a young male that was about 19 years old when it died.

The location of the mastodon discovery is east of town near the current Johnstown Trailhead and Bike Path entrance. The mastodon was in a six foot deep peat pit. The shallow depression was once a natural pond over which then property owner Friend Butt once skated on when he was a young boy. The peat consisted of logs and spruce or hemlock cones.

In 1926 and 1927 numerous people came to view the excavation of the skeleton. Then a Newark businessman bought the skeleton and subsequently sold it to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, where it remains on display today.

Mastodon’s were big hotel users.

Wait in Ohio. So that means Global Warming has happened in the past. Just how many fires were the cave men burning?

So veterinary dentists were operating in the area.
Wonder if that mastodon had dental coverage along with his 0bamaKare.

This reminded me of a friend of mine that found a mastodon and ended up putting it up on ebay.

Now liberals will say three things, 1) we killed the wooly Mammoth, 2) we shouldn't build the inn there and 3) Are we sure he is a boy, he could be trans! 😋

Nice find...huge tooth...
