Digging a test trench near Glady Creek where mastodon (Mammut americanum) remains were found on the McGill farm in Concord Township, Champaign County, Ohio. Before excavation of the site began, two test trenches were dug at the north and south ends of the prospective site. The test trench depth was 5 to 7 feet. Bones were presumed to have come from the marl layers. The image was taken by Michael C. Hansen in September 1978. The location given is approximate to the excavation site.

Bone specimens spread on the field near Glady Creek where mastodon (Mammut americanum) remains were found on the McGill farm in Concord Township, Champaign County, Ohio. Staff from the Ohio Historical Society undertook a salvage excavation at the site on September 18, 1978. An excavation trench 40 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet deep was dug in an attempt to locate additional mastodon remains. This excavation produced a first rib, the sacrum, an epiphyseal plate, skull fragments, and a toe bone. The finds were widely scattered in the excavation and appeared to have been previously disturbed, possibly by channelizing of Glady Creek in the 1930s or 1940s. The image was taken by Michael C. Hansen in September 1978....
The Burning Tree Mastodon (Mammut americanum) excavation site at the Burning Tree Golf Course south of Heath in Licking Township, Licking County, Ohio. The Burning Tree Mastodon is one of the most complete specimens of a mastodon found to date. It was discovered on December 12, 1989, during excavation for a pond on the course. Most of the skeleton had been recovered within three days of the initial find in what was probably a peat bog formed from a small kettle lake. Five casts were made from the original specimen skeleton before it was sold to a museum in Japan. The image was taken by Michael C. Hansen on December 13, 1989. The location given is the entrance to the Burning Tree Golf Course.
