Fossil hunters in Florida are unearthing incredible finds, including prehistoric creatures such as rhinos, mammoths and sabretooth cats.
University of Florida researchers recently discovered the incredibly intact remains of a giant gomphothere, a 10,000-pound, four-tusk relative of an elephant that roamed the area before humans.
For seven years now, paleontologists, UF students, and hundreds of volunteers have been hand-digging the site. “I just told Jonathan you’ll take care of it and whatever he says goes,” said Eddie Hodge, the landowner. “I just send people to him. I’m just glad to be part of it. My whole family is.” The specimens are being preserved in the lab at Dickinson Hall at UF, where volunteers use screwdrivers and dental tools to carefully clean them.
