Lawrence paleontologists confirm remains found near Grain Valley Missouri are from an early mammoth, not a mastodon. The tooth discovery in late August suggests the animal died at a glacial lake, supporting a theory that mammoths crossed from Europe and Asia about 500000 years ago rather than 250000 years ago.
