6-Year-Old Discovers Rare Mastodon Tooth in Michigan's Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve

On the 6th of September, 6-year-old Julian Gagnon was walking along with his family in the Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve when he came across an object. At first, the 6-year-old identified his discovery to his parent as a "dragon's tooth." The family reached out to the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontologists and then they identified the boy's discovery as the upper right molar belonging to a young mastodon.
