The remains of a 12,000 year-old mastodon found in Monroe County have been assembled for an exhibit at The State Museum of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg, reports the Patriot-News.
It will be the centerpiece of next month's new exhibit, "Tusks! Ice Age Mammoths and Mastodons." And it will remain in the museum when the exhibit ends.
For Robert Sullivan, the museum's senior curator in paleontology and geology, seeing the huge skeleton frozen in mid-stride in the center of the gallery floor marks a three-year dream that is nearing fulfillment.
