According toMassLive, New England fisherman Tim Rider found the 11-inch fossil weighing seven pounds while fishing for scallops in Newburyport, Massachusetts, during December 2021.
“Obviously, I can’t solve the world’s problems as a fisherman,” said Rider perNew England Cable News (NECN).“But I can contribute to help the people that are suffering.”
After the fascinating discovery, Rider turned over the fossil to the University of New Hampshire (UNH) for examination, added MassLive.
“I always love thinking about the landscape in New England,” added Will Clyde, a Geology professor at UNH, per NECN. “With mammoths and mastodons walking around, and in terms of geological times, that wasn’t that long ago.”
