Boy Trips Over Rock in Mountains, Finds Million-Year-Old Fossil

A 10-year-old boy has discovered a million-year-old fossil by tripping over it while hiking in New Mexico with his family. Local media KVIA reported that Jude Sparks was exploring the region's Organ Mountains with his parents and two brothers, playing with walkie talkies, when he fell over something sticking out of the earth. They said he fell right on his face and opened his eyes to the remains of an elephant-type creature that was later identified as a million-year-old stegomastodon, an ancestor of modern elephants.
