Along with a number of other fossil and geological specimens, the Creation Study Center in Ridgefield, Washington, has acquired a giant leg bone of an ancient mammoth. It’s a part of the lifetime collection of retired science teacher, Joe Young from Walla Walla, Washington.
The rear femur is 41 inches long and weighs 47 pounds. “It’s in beautiful condition and, thus, rare,” says Stan Hudson, the Creation Study Center’s director. “We want to put it on display in our museum, but its size is going to require a customized mount. It’s too big for our cases.”
