Storm unearths ancient tusks

Observation by Bruno Chakuchin and Xavier Nash with help from Jackie Schaeffer:

The aftermath of Typhoon Merbok left fuel tanks floating and home flooded, but locals also saw an opportunity. Bruno Chakuchin and Xavier Nash went exploring after the storm (Typhoon Merbok) and found that erosion had unveiled a very nice mastodon tusk. Bruno and Xavier are from the community of Newtok. Newtok is one of two communities currently relocating due to climate change. This tusk weighed in at 128 pounds.
