One of the most popular exhibits in the almost 21,000 square feet of display space at the Arkansas State University Museum in Jonesboro (Craighead County) is the skeletal mastodon model known as “Mona.” Cast from authentic fossilized bones, it was named after retired museum educator Mona Fielder, who was instrumental in its acquisition. Authentic mastodon bones placed in surrounding display cases complement the model.
