Mastondonts, giant bevers and the calumet region

Mastodonts and giant beavers were located in calumet region. There was a very large finding in Hebron Indiana. In 2005 there were at least 5 mastodonts found along with incisors to a Giant Beaver, and the skull of a stag moose making this one of the largest finds in Indiana, and directly in our back yards.

Giant Beavers were in this area much larger than current beavers.
