| Description: | A hind leg and part of the pelvis of a Jefferson mammoth are examined by Dr. Asa Thoresen (left), chairman of the biology department at Andrews University, and Dr. Richard Ritland, professor of paleontology and geology at AU. The bones, discovered on the Wesley Prillwitz farm, Eau Claire, in 1962, were sent to the University of Michigan on a study loan basis, and were returned to Au for display largely through Prillwitz's efforts. The skeleton will stand 11 1/2 feet high at the shoulders and will be housed in the natural history museum in the AU science complex |
