A 9-year-old boy hiking in the Las Cruces desert in New Mexico recently tripped over what is now thought to be a 1.2-million-year-old Stegomastodon skull.
"I was running farther up, and I tripped on part of the tusk," Jude Sparks, now 10, who was hiking in the desert with his parents and brothers, said in a statement from New Mexico State University (NMSU). "My face landed next to the bottom jaw. I looked farther up, and there was another tusk."
