Mammoth Remains Uncovered During Football Field Renovation
- 8 years ago
A renovation and expansion of Oregon State University's Reser Stadium recently led to the unexpected discovery of what appear to be the remains of a mammoth among other extinct mammals.
The remains of what was likely a mammoth have been uncovered during construction at Oregon State University's Reser Stadium.
Further exploration found the remains of several other extinct animals as well.
Anthropology professor Loren Davis, who was called to the site of the find, said, “There are quite a few bones, and dozens of pieces. Some of the bones are not in very good shape, but some are actually quite well preserved."
Construction is currently underway on an expansion and renovation of the university's football stadium, but was halted in the immediate area of the north end zone where the discovery was made.
