Ancient mastodon tooth found in California creek may point to more remains buried

Wayne Thompson, CEO of Pacific Paleontology, told Fox News Digital that the exceptionally rare Pacific mastodon tooth discovered in a California creek could be between 50,000 and 100,000 years old.

Pacific Paleontology CEO Wayne Thompson told Fox News Digital that the mastodon molar’s remarkably intact roots suggest it had not traveled far — and that the animal’s skull and other bones may still be buried at the site.
