The Texan was carrying out a routine landscaping task on September 15 when he came across what he first thought was a " dried cantaloupe." ‌

He told KSAT : "I saw what looked like a dried cantaloupe or something. I picked it up, and the bottom part of the jaw stayed on the ground. When I turned it over and saw the teeth, I was like, ‘Oh my God.'"
