PERRY - Relics of yesteryear were unearthed Monday, Oct. 8, 2001 at the Perry Township home of Ron and Sue Hammond, as Shaftsburg Elementary fifth graders literally dug into wet clay and mud mounded around the perimeter of a pond being dug on the Hammond property.
Although most students are warned against playing in the mud, these students were invited to be a part of a 'dig party' to unearth mastodon bones, belonging to the original find discovered in early September.
On their way to the site students had the opportunity to make a quick tour of the Calkins Mcqueen House Museum in Perry, where the mastodon bones will be placed for permanent display after being examined and classified by Dr. Dan Fisher of the University of Michigan.

The bones indicate that the Adams mastodon was likely a large male that stood 8’ high at the shoulders and weighed between 8 to 10 tons, very similar in proportions to the mastodon reconstruction on the exhibit floor at the Institute and about the size of a large African elephant!
The sediment layers containing the Adams mastodon bones and abundant white spruce cones (See stratigraphic section PDF1) were deposited in a small lake that formed in an ice block depression on the glacial landscape (kettle lake), probably more than a thousand years after the ice front receded from Oakland County.
The American mastodon (Mammut americanum) evolved from this ancestral stock around 4 to 5 million years ago and is found only in North America, ranging from Alaska to Mexico to the eastern continental shelf, with the highest concentration of finds in the eastern and Great Lakes regions.
