If Joe Biden can be president, I don’t know why this kid couldn’t be.

Who touched it 12,000 yrs ago? The mastodon dentist?

Black gang symbol hand gestures. My gawd the country is toast when people emulate ghetto thugs.

I’m more surprised he found a 1993 Tupac/Janet Jackson movie t-shirt...

“Does this mean I get to be the president?” his mother said of his initial reaction.”


No, kid, sorry. Judging by the current occupant, you have to first be kicked in the head by a mastadon. Close, but no cigar.

Cute kid!

I would hope he will get some college fund money. He’s going places.

He is the first person to touch it in 12,000 years? What makes anyone think it was touched that long ago? It’s been “untouched” is probably more accurate.

"Does this mean I get to be the president?"

We know you can form full sentences, kid, so we have one other question. How much pudding do you eat?

The tooth is set. 12,000 old, which is nothing geologically. I looked it up and minimal time required for fossilization is 10,000 years, so it just makes it.

Of course semi-complete non fossilized mammoths (similar to mastodons) have been found frozen solid and well preserved in Siberia.

“Mammoth and mastodon fossils are relatively rare in Michigan...

Relatively rare, so uncommon relative to other places. Cool. Let's hear some more.

...but compared to other places in the United States, there actually have been more occurrences,” Rountrey said.

So more common relative to other places. Relatively common then?

So confused...

You’ve got to be pretty damn stupid to publish a photo of anything as abnormally large as the tooth of a pachyderm and not put something else in the frame for reference of scale.

Great find, but would rather have a find at that diamond park out in the west.
