Archaeological experts say, the mammoth is quite small, only about 2.7m tall, female.

Notably, its skull is quite clear, the ribs and lower jaw are relatively intact, only a few leg bones are lost.

Mr. McEwen, the Texas head of household, said: 'I am with my nephew Ethan Beasley using a excavator to dig the land in the family business area. After accidentally touching its ivory - about 1.8 meters long, we immediately informed biologists. "

The fossil skeleton is now donated to Perot Museum, in Texas state. This dedication is extremely important for archeology.

Otherwise, this creature fossil could become an auction and the scientific community cannot describe it or study it further.
