A chunk of Ice Age history just turned up in Mississippi—a fossil hunter stumbled on a rare Columbian mammoth tusk, and it’s in surprisingly great shape. Most local finds are mastodons, so this mammoth discovery is a real game-changer for what we know about the state’s ancient wildlife. Scientists rushed to shield the tusk from the harsh sun, knowing how fragile these relics can be. It’s wild to think these massive creatures once roamed our backyard! What do you think this means for Mississippi’s past—and could there be more fossils hiding out there? #Science #MississippiHistory #FossilFind
