About 6 months ago, amateur paleontologists were sifting through dirt and rubble at a Daytona construction site, and discovered bones and teeth from a Mastodon, an enormous tusked mammal that died more than 13 thousand years ago and weighed several tons.
Zach Zacharias is Senior Curator of both Education and History at Daytona Museum of Arts and Sciences. He will talk about these and other mastodons, which lived during the Oligocene through Pleistocene periods.
