Bones of prehistoric animal found near Kimball
Last Wednesday while gravel was being dug west of Kimball on the Kimball Bushnell road, G B Long saw white hard material in a pit. He retrieved two petrified bones, a mammoth tooth about six inches across and ten inches long with a broken tip, and part of a jaw bone about fifteen inches long. The bones are heavily petrified and heavy, suggesting a very large prehistoric creature. Local speculation abounds on the monster’s identity and habitat, though it is clear such bones indicate ancient megafauna in the region long before humans. Mr Long notes more gravel digging could uncover more of the animal nearby.
