VIDEO: Missouri Man Finds Mammoth Bone in River

This proves that you never know what you might find in a Missouri river. A man has shared video revealing his discovery of a 10,000-year-old mammoth bone that he spotted in a nearby river and it's humongous.

Inside Edition has just shared video of Jason Howery and his find of a mammoth bone. This big bone was found in a river in northwest Missouri. He said it weighed around 80 pounds.

It's believed that Jason found the bone of a a Columbian mammoth, a relative of the woolly mammoth that called Missouri home more than 10,000 years ago. He's now seeking help in funding the preservation of this bone as he has set up a GoFundMe page. Here's the stated goal of that campaign:

"Funds raised through this campaign will support the scientific documentation and preservation of this discovery, including professional imaging, analytical evaluation, dating efforts, and materials needed for stabilization and protection."

I'm not questioning Jason's honesty, but I'm curious if any educational organizations have verified Jason's find yet? Since I was born in the Show Me State, I need people to show me proof. Until then, we'll have to take Jason's word for it.

Jason also hopes to start a Paleo Outreach Program to inspire kids to learn more about this long-forgotten part of Missouri history and to encourage them to pursue science and research as a career. He assured Inside Edition that the video is real and not the result of artificial intelligence.
