• An Angola farmer who began the unearthing of a mastodon skeleton in the late 1960s allowed the remains to be on permanent loan to the IPFW campus, leading to the adoption of the mastodon as the campus mascot in 1970. And when a worker at a local peat moss vendor west of Fort Wayne unearthed parts of yet another mastodon skeleton in 1998, faculty and students from archaeology and anthropology engaged in an all-out effort to recover the massive skeleton, remarkably intact and estimated to have been buried in the peat bog as long as 13,000 years.
