California men accused of shattering $200K mammoth tusk at Branson-area museum


quote:

Two California men have been charged after they allegedly shattered a mammoth tusk worth an estimated $200,000 at a popular tourist attraction near Branson, Missouri.

The Taney County Prosecutor’s Office on Monday charged Todd W. Azevedo, 48, and Brett J. Howard, 46, both of Petaluma, California, with one count each of first-degree property damage.

The alleged damage occurred shortly before 11 a.m. Sunday at the Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum at the Top of the Rock attraction in Ridgedale, Missouri, according to court documents.


quote:

An employee who had just checked in for work and was watching a security monitor saw one of the men lift the other up to grab the mammoth skeleton. When the man grabbed the mammoth, it allegedly fell apart, breaking into pieces.

When the employee attempted to contact the men, they allegedly ran out the door. The employee located the men outside and had them return inside. The employee then notified the security team.


There, I helped your thread.

Guess I was wrong for assuming that most prehistoric artifacts on display at museums was fake or imitations?

These guys' stupidity possiby saved someone from a rock falling on their head. Sounds like this tusk was super fragile and hung above visitors' heads.

If you're ever in Branson you really need to check out this place. The Table Rock up there does an incredible job of preserving fossilized bones and ancient artifacts. The dozen + rooms of Native American antiquities alone make it worth your time.

OP, please put a tiny bit more effort in your posting.

Investigators say Howard climbed onto the shoulders of Azevedo and attempted to hang from the tusk of a woolly mammoth skeleton. The tusk fell to the ground and shattered.

The mammoth skeleton is at Big Cedar Lodge





ETA: 2 different photo locations. Not sure which one is the correct location

Maybe. But really doesn't all type of liability exist because people do dumb stuff?
