[meteorite-list] From Meteorites to Mammoths

[Larry Atkins]

Greast find Sonny!

You never know what you'll find when you go looking.

About 6 or 7 years ago I was working as an electrician on a big 
industrial new build, and thinking I was being funny, asked the guy 
that had the excavating contract if he had ever dug up a meteorite. He 
said, "No, but I once dug up a Wooly Mammoth!" Turns out that he dug it 
up in the town of Lake Orion, only about 10 miles from my house.

Too bad he didn't say that he did dig up a meteorite and then lead me 
to a giant iron or something.

Happy Hunting,



Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hi List, 
 
I wanted to share some exciting news about a phone call I recently 
received. 
 
 While I was out in the field looking for meteorites I came across some 
fossilized bones that were eroding out of the desert ground. I took a 
few pictures and showed them to the agency responsible for that area. 
They called me the other day to let me know that what I had found was a 
Mammoth! I don't believe any Mammoth's have been found at this location 
before. I hope to post some pictures of this when I get home. 
 
Sonny
