On Tuesday, he took it to the University of Wisconsin-Baraboo/Sauk County to let archaeologists examine it. Archaeologist Jim Theler took one look at what Lessnau carried into an office at the University of Wisconsin-Baraboo/Sauk County, and declared, "That is a bone. " But whether the 33-inch, 30-pound object is the bone of a long-extinct mammoth, or whether it came from a modern elephant, is one of many questions that Theler, a senior researcher for the La Crosse-based Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center, wants to explore in more depth. The structure of the bone, and the appearance of mineralization on parts of it, caused him to speculate, tentatively, that the specimen is the upper humerus from the front leg of a not-quite-mature mammoth. The growth plate on the bone, he said, suggests that the animal was sub-adult. The shape of the bone suggests that it might have belonged to a mammoth and not a mastodon, another extinct elephant-like mammal whose remains are more common in Wisconsin than those of the mammoth. But, based partly on a visit Monday to the Adams County site where Lessnau said he found the bone late last fall, Theler was not ready to rule out the possibility that the bone might have come from an elephant. The site, about two miles of Lessnau's home in Oxford, has railroad tracks nearby. It <b>...</b>

"The Baraboo Range is an ancient mountain range made up largely of a beautiful pink rock called Baraboo Quartzite. Sea sand undergoing immense pressure from the earth cemented the granules into this very hard rock we know today. Exposed outcrops of the quartzite that weren't covered by the glacial ice pack were subject to freezing and thawing conditions. Water seeping into cracks in the quartzite expanded as it froze and eventually broke pieces of the bluff away creating awe inspiring formations. These outcroppings with names such as chimney rock, balanced rock and devils doorway have lured visitors for centuries to climb the eight hundred foot bluffs surrounding what is now Devils Lake State Park."
