Fossil Tooth Found Near Bushnell Records Ancient Life
R R Hammond hauled sand east of town and found a petrified molar tooth of a prehistoric animal. Measuring 2 inches by 5% inches, the root tip is broken but suggests an 8 inch long tooth weighing about 3042 ounces. A large fossil jaw bone found by Chas Powell earlier this spring hints the area was once a tropical plain with lush vegetation and that such animals vanished before human arrival.
