A team of scientists at the Oregon State University in Corvallis began unearthing the remains of a 10,000-year-old mammoth, Tuesday, after construction workers discovered the bones on Monday.
The construction crew made the prehistoric discovery while they were working on an expansion of the university's football stadium, the Reser Stadium. As well as finding a large femur and other bone fragments belonging to a mammoth, the crew also discovered bone fragments belonging to a bison and a horse or camel.
Discussing the find, Loren Davis, an associate professor of anthropology at OSU, said: "We got to work early this morning with the crew and we wanted to expose as much as we could just from the available profile. And we found that it looks like it was a mammoth. And then working with their equipment operators, we got more of the dirt out of the way so they could keep working and we came across other animals. We got what looks like bison, we have what could be a horse or a camel potentially, but we got a lot more pieces of the mammoth as well."
"I think one of the neatest things about is that it just goes to show that there is a whole world of the past exists under the ground. And its so neat that we actually found it here at Reser Stadium," he added.
