EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable discovery of Mastodon jaw bone fossils at Big Bone Lick, Kentucky in 1766. The credit for this significant find goes to George Croghan, an avid archaeologist and explorer of his time. Fascinated by these ancient remains, Croghan wasted no time in sending them to his esteemed friend Benjamin Franklin. The image itself is a contemporary line engraving that beautifully captures the essence of these massive bones. The Mastodon, a colossal American animal from prehistoric times, roamed the land during the Middle Ages. Its tooth alone was enough to inspire awe and wonder among those who stumbled upon its fossilized remains. Kentucky's Big Bone Lick holds great importance in paleontological history as it served as a treasure trove for countless fascinating discoveries like this one. This particular photograph transports us back to the 18th century when explorers like Croghan were unearthing secrets buried deep within our planet's past. Displayed as part of the Carousel Collection by The Granger Collection, this print offers a glimpse into both scientific curiosity and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our ever-evolving understanding of Earth's rich tapestry and invites us to marvel at creatures long extinct but forever imprinted on our collective memory.
