The power of the Web

I was crawling the Web recently researching one of my favorite creatures, the American mastodon (Mammut americanum) when I ran across a news article published in the New York Times in 1980 describing a skull discovered in a Pleistocene river gravel deposit here in Santa Cruz.  Funny thing: it was the very skull that I spent two years preparing while working at the Santa Cruz City Museum of Natural History!  I thought it sounded a bit familiar.   How very interesting that life circles back upon itself when we least expect it.
