Mammoth remains uncovered near Mexico City


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Mexican experts say they are completing work on digging up fossilised bones of a mammoth found near Mexico City.

They were found near the village of Tultepec while drains were being installed.

The bones are believed to be about 14,000 years old and were scattered, suggesting the mammoth had been cut up by humans for its meat and pelt.

Other remains have been found in the area which had been a shallow lake where the heavy mammoths got stuck.

I wonder if the street will be closed for a complete archaeological dig.  Great find, even if it was by accident.  Serendipity strikes again!

Probably not given the current state of Mexico.

They'll, sadly, probably just destroy it.
