Jr. Paleontologists - Kid Finds Woolly Mammoth Tooth
[Edit]
[Edit]
When Kaleb Kidd of La Crosse, Wisconsin was out chasing squirrels, he got to be the hero of the dream every little boy has when he found a 30,000-year-old tooth from an extinct woolly mammoth. At first it looked like a rock, but on close inspection, Kaleb’s grandfather suspected that it was a fossil. They took it to the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center and were told that it was indeed the tooth of a woolly mammoth. Kaleb was very excited and the tooth is currently on display at the Satori Arts Gallery.
Gary Kidd had a pretty good idea that what his 3-year-old grandson had found was no rock, but the tooth of a woolly mammoth. That's because he had found one himself nine years ago. Kaleb Kidd was chasing squirrels Monday at a family friend's property near La Crosse when he spotted what looked like an unusual rock. Next stop was the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, which confirmed that it was, indeed, the tooth of a mammoth.
