Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Aside from the mammoth bone, two paleontologists discovered parts of an extinct shark and the tooth of a sabre-tooth tiger that will be put on display at the Florida Museum of Natural History.<\/p>\n

Two Florida scuba divers have stumbled upon a large mammoth bone that may date back to the ice age, according to The Orlando Sentinel.<\/p>\n

While diving in a river in southwest Florida last week, amateur paleontologists Derek Demeter and Henry Sadler discovered a 1.2-metre, 23kg bone that belonged to a species called the Columbian mammoth.<\/p>\n

“Like astronomy, it\u2019s time traveling. It plays with the imagination so you go \u2018wow, what was going on at this time?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Florida men discover a mammoth bone, estimated to be 100,000 years old! The story on #FOX35 tonight at 10:45! pic.twitter.com\/ylFetQJahB<\/p>\n

The Columbian mammoth inhabited North America during the Pleistocene Epoch, between 2.6 million and 10,000 years ago.<\/p>\n

“[Henry] came up, and he’s like, ‘Derek, I found something amazing’, and he’s just freaking out. When I saw it, I couldn’t believe it. I was in denial. It was really neat to see that be discovered”, Demeter told The Orlando Sentinel.<\/p>\n

The bone, which could be tens of thousands of years old, is now in a classroom where Sadler teaches so that “the kids are able to see it, touch it, feel it and really get a history of the natural world”.<\/p>\n
