The Marshalls Creek Mastodon, excavated in 1968 from a peat bog in Monroe County, PA, is considered one of the most complete mastodon skeletons ever recovered. However, only half the creature’s 12,000-year-old skeleton had been on display at the State Museum until the Buy-A-Bone Campaign brought life to the project.

Now completely remounted, the Pennsylvania Mastodon is the star attraction of an exhibit that will include other Ice Age creatures such as carnivores, horses, giant ground sloths, and giant armadillos. The travelling exhibition “Tusks! Ice Age Mammoths and Mastodons” will continue through May 2, 2010.

See them all at the State Museum located at 300 North Street in Harrisburg, PA. Museum hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 12 noon to 5 p.m. General admission is $3.00 for adults, $2.00 for children/senior citizens. Individuals who need special assistance should call (717) 787-6778 or the PA TDD relay service at 800-654-5984.
