The rules say he gets to keep it if he wants. Were hoping it will end up in a museum. While the university of michigan scientist has already got some theories. It was an adult male, probably in its 40s at the time of its death. Probably lived between 10,000 and 15,000 years ago. And that puts humans here in prehistoric michigan those same 10,000 to 15,000 years ago because the theory is also that the dead mammoth was hunted by humans and that they stored it these three rocks as an anchor to keep it refrigerated basically. Soon enough its all going to be soybeans again here but its going to be hard not to wonder what else is under that soybean surface. John donvan, abc news.
