WDIV reports, six-year-old Julian Gagnon made the surprising discovery while walking with his family at Dinosaur Hill Preserve in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
“I just felt something on my leg and I grabbed it, and it looked like a tooth,” Gagnon told WDIV, Thursday (7/10/2021).

At first Gagnon thought he would be rewarded money for his invention but he didn’t. “At first I thought I was going to get a million dollars but I didn’t,” said Gagnon.
Reported Daily Mail, Mastodon is an ancient relative of elephants and mammoths that are thought to have been wiped out by human activities. They were one of the largest land animals on Earth at the time, reaching 10 feet in length and weighing 8 tons or more.
Mastodon went around the end of the Pleistocene Era, about 12,000 years ago. Experts previously believed that mastodons lived in the Arctic and Subarctic regions covered in ice sheets.
However, they now believe that this area was only temporary, due to the much warmer climate before their extinction. They live in forests and wetlands full of leafy foods.
