Juan Armenta Camacho found a piece of mastodon pelvis in central Mexico with a gomphothere engraved on it in 1959, he called it "Tetela1". It was featured in National Geographic, and several paleo experts (including Wormington,if i remember correctly) personally examined it and were convinced of it's antiquity, that is until dates of greater than 200,000 years were associated with it and artifacts from the same strata.The dates (which have since been confirmed by 3 different methods, apparently) don't fit the accepted paradigms,have been ignored by the professional archeological community. Several professionals who believe the dates associated with the artifacts are definitely accurate have started a website "The Pleistocene Coalition" in order to get this evidence out to the public.If you guys have not seen this evidence or heard of it, you should check it out. Apparently, the 4 tusked Gomphothere was thought to have been extint since the mid pleistocene, and detractors of Armenta's find used that to discredit his find.Now, with this find, maybe we should reconsider?
