It made a triumphant return to the entry hall of the “new” museum in 1998, but it was soon found conditions there weren’t optimal for 11,000-year-old bones, and it was put into a back hall of the museum where it is displayed today.

A Mastodon Unearthed – Hoxsie!

I got yer #mastodon right here, pal: the OG mastodon where I'm from, which is the Cohoes Mastodon. This guy fell into a pothole at the end of the last ice age, say 13,000 years ago, and remained there until 1866, when workers building the Harmony Mills complex in the busy textile city discovered his bones very near the Cohoes Falls.
