9-year-old's
stumble leads to million-year-old fossil discovery
Nine-year-old
Jude Sparks was playing with his brother in the New Mexican desert
when he tripped and landed beside a massive skull. I didn't know
what it was," Sparks, now aged 10, told El Paso ABC affiliate
KVIA. "I just knew it wasn't usual." Sparks later found out
he stumbled upon an archaeological treasure: a mostly intact
stegomastodon skull.

At
the time of the discovery, neither Sparks nor his parents, who were
biking nearby, recognized the skeletal remains of the
million-year-old creature preserved in the desert sands of Las
Cruces. Sparks' parents took a photo of the skull, presuming it
belonged to an elephant, and went to work googling. When their
internet search provided no definitive answers, they emailed Peter
Houde, a biology professor at New Mexico State University (NMSU). A
day after Sparks' fortuitous stumble, Houde headed out with the
family to take a closer look and confirmed that the skull "is
really very unusual to find," he revealed in an interview with
the New York Times.

According
to the newspaper, prehistoric fossils usually break down after
exposure to the elements, but the Sparks were fortunate to have
discovered the skull just after strong rains made it visible to the
naked eye. "Erosion is a paleontologist's best friend,"
Spencer Lucas, curator of paleontology at the new Mexico Museum of
Natural History and Science, explained to National Geographic.

This
May, after months devoted to securing funding and planning, the
Sparks family and a university team excavated the nearly 2,000-pound
fossil. Houde estimates the skull to be about 1.2-million-years-old.
He believes it is one of only hundreds of stegomastodon fossils
unearthed globally. "This may be only the second complete skull
found in New Mexico," the biologist explained in the
university's statement. Although its name might suggest otherwise,
stegomastodons are not dinosaurs. The elephant-like creature walked
the earth in the last million years or so, reports the Times, and
dinosaurs died close to 66 million years ago.

Sparks
told the Times that he went through a fossil phase in his earlier
years, and discovering the skull has reinvigorated his interest in
archaeology. Nonetheless, it hasn't given him much credit with
friends on the playground. "Most of them didn't even believe
me," Jude told KVIA. Houde, however, doesn't encourage citizen
scientists to take to the desert in search of fossils. "When
people find out about these things, they might be tempted to go out
there and see what they might find themselves," Houde said in
the university press release. "To be quite honest, all these
fossils from this area are radioactive and especially for children,
not something you would want in your home."

The
stegomastodon lived and died millions of years ago and if the
numbers are truthful then there can be no doubt that the skull was a
forgery and because the mainstream narrative convinces the mindless
zombles that these creatures real.....they fall for the deception.
