The men were hiking through Elephant Butte State Park near Albuquerque, New Mexico, when they saw a large object protruding from the ground. They dug further and discovered what was later identified as a 3 million-year-oldstegomastodon skull, and quickly snapped a few photos, which they sent to the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque.Archaeologists determined that the skull, which weighed about one ton, belonged to a prehistoric relative of the elephant that lived during the Ice Age. It likely went extinct around 10,000 years ago.
