Discovered the mammoth fossil in California

Workers are working at a construction site in downtown San Diego, California, USA, having discovered fossil bones from the prehistoric time of a Mamoi elephant.

Fossil bones of Yakutsk elephants.

Parts of fossil bones found, including about 2.4 meters long ivory, skull and leg bones, belong to a mature Colombian elephant. The animal, shaped like this elephant, lived in the end of the Pleistocene (also known as the Neolithic), about 1.8 million to 10,000 years ago, moving to what is now America and beyond. down south in Nicaragua and Honduras.

Paleontologists at the San Diego Natural History Museum estimate that these fossil bones are dated to about 500,000 years old.

Paleontologist Pat Sena said that this is really an interesting and important discovery, since it is rarely discovered that the fossil of the mammoth elephant with the skull, leg bones and an ivory is almost still intact.

Mamut is an ancient elephant that is extinct, characterized by long, dense (approximately 50 cm) fur; long and curved dentin and tusks, short hind legs so that the whole body is tilted towards the back, shoulders protruding. Mamut's teeth are large and sharp, suitable for crushing grass. Its faucet has two finger-like protrusions, one in the front and one in the back that makes it easy to grab the grass.
