Discovery Channel :: News - Archaeology :: Mastodon Etching Found in Lake Michigan: "Sept. 5, 2007 — They aren't certain, but underwater archaeologists say they may have discovered a boulder with a prehistoric carving in Lake Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay. The granite rock has markings that resemble a mastodon — an elephant-like creature that once inhabited parts of North America — with what could be a spear in its side, say divers who have seen it. They came across the boulder at a depth of about 40 feet while searching for shipwrecks in June, said Mark Holley, a scientist with the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve Council."

I think it is great and real.I think man has been in north ameriac a lot lot longer than is known.I have a fossil of a human footprint that I found in the Buffalo area 28yrs. ago. I have been told that it is not possible, but it is a footprint in dovonian rock.Good luck proving what it is. I just started to show the footprint and have meet a lot of resistence and haven't found anyone that will authenticate it yet.Maybe you can help.
