Giant mastodon unearthed on Rosebud Indian Reservation
Four Rapid City men uncovered a near complete mastodon skeleton near Hidden Timber South Dakota estimated at ten feet tall with a seven foot one inch skull and 47 inch tusks. The find on the Rosebud Reservation suggests a 60 year old animal in a semi tropical habitat before the Ice Age. The team plans academic papers and hopes for school museum display within two years.
