Marvin the Mastodon, a life-sized replica of a prehistoric giant, stands above the highway at Mastodon Ridge in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia. Atlas Obscura reported that the 14-foot statue was erected in January 1995 to commemorate a discovery made in 1991. During excavation of a sinkhole at the National Gypsum Quarry near Milford, an excavator operator noticed a tusk and bones protruding from the earth.
