February First Friday | Ice Age MammalsFriday, February 6, 2026 @ 6 p.m.
What is Michigan's state fossil? It's not the petoskey-though it probably should be. The mastodon (Mammathus americanum) became our state fossil in 2004. During the last Ice Age Michigan was home to two species of elephants, the mastodon and the Jefferson mammoth. In 1935 a giant beaver was discovered in Lapeer County believed to have weighed 400-600 pounds. Five more have been found. Come to this fascinating First Friday presentation to find out what other Ice Age animals roamed Michigan. There will be a surprise ending to the class. Presented by Bill Heyworth.
Live Lectures start promptly at 6 p.m. Please arrive early for best seating.
