While hunting in West Texas, deer hunters found strange objects in the creek bed. I wonder if it might be a fossil. He took a picture and showed the livestock farm manager.
“I wonder,” said O2 Will Juett Farm manager in Sul Ross State University. statement– “I think it's just an old stump. But imagine how good it would be “
The deer hunter is correct and the discovery is even greater because it is not just any fossils, the intermediary team or the researchers say that it is an incredibly rare mammom.
After seeing the photos of the hunter, Juett contacted the Big BEND (CBBS) center for the director of Bryon Schroder and the Erika Blecha archaeologist. On the other hand, they reached to the Haley Bjorklund of CBBS, a graduate of the University of Classus, an expert in the environmental archaeological University. After two anthropologists participated in their efforts, researchers at the livestock farm to check what hunters found. The team quickly specifies the sample as a mammoth.
“When they confirm what they discovered, I couldn't believe,” Juett said. Unfortunately, Mammoth Tusk was lonely, which means that the researchers did not discover the remaining mothers throughout the two days, wrapped in a cage covered with a plaster and built a frame to send to SRSU safely. The standard technique used to determine the age of organic materials – to assess when mammoths live.
“Local people who wrote his Ph.D.'s thesis later (Mammot Tusk) in the Fort Stockton in 1960,” said that this is the only Mammoth in the transst of Texas. “There are many errors. (In carbon dating) Now we can make it go down in a narrower range within 500 years. “
While the command does not name the specific Special Mammoth, TUSK may belong to Mammo TholmbiaMammoth's firing cousin who has more familiar sheets The furry elephant can be up to 13 feet (almost 4 meters) and weighs about 10 tons.
Columbian Mammoths lived in the North America, including modern Texas before becoming extinct about 11,700 years ago with Mammals with many other ice ages– Although the reason behind the disappearance of Megafauna, which is a symbol of the ice age, is still a debate about chili to ginger. But scientists often refer to climate change and Hunting May have a role
“Seeing that Mammthon just made the ancient world alive,” Juett said. “Now I can't help imagining that large animals walk around the hill on the O2 farm. My next idea is often about those large sesame seeds with stone tools in hand!”
