NewzA California scientist recently discovered a 10,000-year-old mastodon tooth in the San Francisco Bay Area. The fossilized molar, which belonged to the large mammal that once inhabited North America, was recovered in what experts describe as immaculate condition.
The discovery provides a rare, well-preserved look at the prehistoric fauna that previously roamed the region. The specimen is currently being studied to further understand the life and environment of the Pacific mastodon during the late Pleistocene epoch.
