The Owosso mastodon, discovered by a ditch-digger, derives its name from the fact that it was unearthed at a farm near Owosso in 1944. It probably lived in that vicinity as long as 20,000 years ago, according to Dr. Lewis B. Kellum, director of the Museum of Paleontology. Preparation of the mount, the most complete and best preserved Skeleton of its kind ever found in Michigan, was supervised by Dr. Ermine C. Case, professor-emeritus of vertebrate paleontology, and Dr. Claude W. Hibbard, associate curator of vertebrate paleontology. It was executed by William H. Buettner, preparator of the Museum staff. After two years of work, the Owosso mastodon, huge 15 by 7-foot prehistoric monster, has been pieced together and now is on display in the University Museum’s Hall of Evolution. Gertrude Haan (1947)
