1991 Mastodon Discovery In October 1991, a backhoe operator at the Milford Gypsum Quarry noticed something long and white sticking out out of his bucket load of earth. It was the tusk of a Mastodon, an extinct Ice Age animal that looked like a furry elephant. So began a period of excavation, followed by conservation and research which is still going on in 1996.
