How about this beauty! It's the skull of a sabre toothed tiger.The other a mammoth tusk.
Andre snapped a couple of photos of these pre-historic creatures when we were at the Yukon Gold Show last week.
It might come as a surprise to many people that the most well preserved remains of these ancient creatures come right out of the placer mines around Dawson City.
The area around here is a veritable grave yard of mastodons, woolly mammoths, giant grizzlies and sabre toothed tigers, all being dug out of the perma frost in the search for gold.
Without the carbon dating guess work that goes on, I read in Genesis six that a great flood buried the old world and caused the extinction of thousands of ancient species.
If you go to this part of the earth their bones are on display for all to behold and when you see them the account of Noah's ark is all the more believable.
Got a better idea as to how the mastodons finished up in Dawson City?
Jubilate.
