I think there’s a company that makes a bunch of 80’/90’s retro t-shirts. No way a child’s size tee makes it that long, in that condition.

Maybe it was sitting in some old lady’s barn since her son went to Vietnam.

I have actually walked that trail countless times, it’s real. There is a hill shaped like a sleeping brontosaurus there. That’s how it got it’s name.

“Does this mean I get to be the president?” his mother said of his initial reaction.”


No, kid, sorry. Judging by the current occupant, you have to first be kicked in the head by a mastadon. Close, but no cigar.

Cute kid!

I would hope he will get some college fund money. He’s going places.

Yes. Even at his age, he would do a lot better than Biden.

Let’s make the trade!

That’s what I was thinking ... more like “The ONLY person EVER to have touched it (up to that time)”.

He is the first person to touch it in 12,000 years? What makes anyone think it was touched that long ago? It’s been “untouched” is probably more accurate.

Are private citizens allowed to own such artifacts such as this legally in Pennsylvania?

Julian is probably the first person to touch the tooth in 12,000 years, said Adam Rountrey, the paleontology museum’s research museum collection manager.
Julian is probably the first person, ever, to touch the tooth -- unless the mastodon had a dental plan. :^)

"Does this mean I get to be the president?"

We know you can form full sentences, kid, so we have one other question. How much pudding do you eat?

“Who touched it 12,000 yrs ago?”

One of the Native Americans who so lived in harmony with nature that they hunted the mastodon into extinction.
