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.
