Darwin obviously ended mammoths for trotting around in an alligator swamp.Even back then it was a bad idea.

We tend to see pics of mammoths in cold and ice climates.

But this is Florida...

If this is only 10,000 yo, it’d be among the last Mammoths in North America, which makes sense, as Florida (which was much larger due to lower sea levels) was only then foresting, as well as being one of the last places to be reached by Clovis and/or Folsom paleoindians.

All of Florida’s waters are gator infested. 😆

Are they sure it isn’t where Kerry’s plastic surgeon dumped his old lantern jaw after surgery?

That’s the upper jaw upside down. Surprised they didn’t find the tusks. Probably collected by the natives. Since the site is on a river (thru limestone rock more than soil and sand) the mammoth may have been butchered there.

There is a guy on the E coast of FL who excavates ICW dredge pile islands since they have debris from 10s of feet below prevailing ground. Some of his finds are Mastodon and Mammoth bones and tusks. He has a Mammoth tusk with graffiti carved into it showing a hunting scene. Pre-historic Scrimshaw.
