Huge Mastodon Tooth Is Found Near Lyons A mastadon tooth, and it really is a whopper, was brought to the Enter­ prise office Thursday by J. C. Podrab­ sky, who lives a short distance west of Mill City. This particular tooth was found south of Lyons about two years ago by Art Baltzer and Mr. 1 Podrabsky 1 daugh- had borrowed it to show hi* ter and friends, at the ) time he visited this office. Measurements of the tooth is four inches across and seven and one- fourth inches long. It weighs eight pounds. Four feet of tusk and part of a huge thigh was also found at this place and it is believed the whole skeleton lies buried there. Mr. Prodrabsky says he and Mr. Baltzer plan to go to that place next month in an attempt to unearth more of the skeleton. Archeologists from Poitlaud nave been contacted and they estimate the tooth to be at least 5000 years old, and more likely to be 10,000 years. The tooth was found in swampy land when excavating for a water re­ servoir. It lay buried only four feet below the surface and beneath it was solid rock, which may account for its excellent preservation. From examination, the archeologists de- termined the tooth was from an ani- mal of the vegetarian species.
