"Fossil Hunter Unearths Rare 450,000-Year-Old Mammoth Tusk in UK Quarry"

A fossil hunter discovered a 450,000-year-old mammoth tusk sticking out of the ground at a quarry in Cambridgeshire, England. The tusk, believed to belong to a steppe mammoth from before the last ice age, measures four feet long. The fossil was taken to a paleontology museum for preservation and examination, where experts will study its habitat, food supply, and signs of predation. The discovery adds to the museum's collection, which includes a plesiosaur skeleton and an iguanodon dinosaur found in previous years.
