What a Toothache This
Mastodon Must Haze Had,
Big Tooth Found in Sand

A tooth as big as an aching mOlar
feels was found Saturday by H T
FonsfOrd in a sand pit near the inter
section of Lawton and Roosevelt
streets. The giant tooth is believed TO
have belonged TO some mastadOu OF
the period before Park Pitman was
county clerk.
1t measures 81 inches by 81 inch
es across the grinding surface and
more than a foot in length. The frac-
ture where the tooth was broken from
the jawbone may be seen plainly and
the cups on the grinding surface are
clearly defined and unusually deep.
The mastadonic tooth was uncovered
By Mexican WOrkmeu who were dig
ging sand and number Of bones we're
also uncovered and carried off before
ZIr Ponsford arrived. one was part
Of the hip bone and was several feet
in length.
The tooth was weather stained and
had the appearance Of rusted iron.
Judging by this dental adornment the
mastodon must have been almost as big
a. the Mills building.
