Boy Finds Ancient Fossil on the Way Home from School

Jared Post, a 10 year old boy in Fairbanks Alaska, was walking home from school when something caught his eye. The boy realized his find was too odd shaped to be a rock so he rushed home to show to show it to is father.


"I thought rocks don't normally look like this so I picked it up. I flipped it around and said ‘hmmm,' and I ran home and said, ‘Dad, dad, I found a fossil,'" Post said.

When Jared got home, he and his dad got on the internet and learned just what it was he found.

"Me and my dad did some research on it and then me and him found out it was a Wooly Mammoth tooth," he said.
