The article 'Toothy Story' discusses a specialist in paleontology. John Hoganson studied a recently discovered mastodon tooth fossil in the Bismarck. The tooth fossil has piqued the interest of scientists ever since its discovery last year. Therefore, Hoganson felt that the tooth was part of an incomplete skeleton, and that also scholars agreed upon it. Hoganson realized his mistake after taking measurements inside the jaw of the skeleton, which is located in the North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck. As it turns out, he was wrong. Hoganson said we have some old correspondence from 100 years ago, that indicates that there might have been a tooth that was lost when this skeleton was on the road, being taken around to different fairs. Something happened to the tooth, It got lost or stolen after the animal had been excavated. Furthermore, museum curator Peter Russell said that he would like to keep the tooth for the skeleton.
