 Kid Finds Woolly Mammoth Tooth 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.
