A 12-year-old boy at a family get-together discovered a rare tooth from a woolly mammoth, an extinct giant relative of the Asian elephant that was last seen on earth 4,000 years ago.
Jackson Hepner, 12, made the discovery at the water’s edge among the hills of Ohio’s Amish Country during a weekend family reunion at the Inn at Honey Run in July, said a post at the Inn’s blog.
