Rock of ages

Recently, divers in lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay found a boulder with ancient carvings that resemble a mastodon with a spear stuck in its side. The prehistoric mastodon, which is said to have existed 10,000 years ago, was similar to the elephant and inhabited parts of North America. Underwater archaeologist Mark Holley, of Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve Council, said that the mastodon looked absolutely real when seen 40 feet under water. However, the authenticity of this granite rock is yet to be confirmed by experts. Specialists want more evidence before confirming it as an ancient rock carving. The curator of the University of Michigan Museum of Paleontology, Daniel Fisher, said that the features of the engraving were very subtle, and these were not the only markings on the boulder.

Alive and barking

A few days ago a mar- ble company in Mumbai received a rather unusual consignment from Oman. The container held five pups. How the puppies got inside the container, is still a mystery. However, one guess is that the mother must have given birth to the litter in the container itself. Although the pups were sealed in the container for 12 days and travelled across seas, they are still in the pink of health.
