    "Team find possible mastodon carving on Lake Michigan rock"


    Team find possible mastodon carving on Lake Michigan rock

 

Mark Holley, an underwater archaeologist, explains a recent find that could be an ancient carving of a mastodon on a boulder submerged in Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay today at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Mich. They say if confirmed, the carving could prove that humans hunted the large beasts in the area up to 10,000 years ago.
