1 MY Serbian Mammoth Fossil Found


A well-preserved skeleton of a mammoth that is believed to be about one million years old has been unearthed in eastern Serbia, archaeologists said Thursday.

The discovery was made during excavation two days ago at an open-pit coal mine near Kostolac power plant, said Miomir Korac, from Serbia's Archaeology Institute.


A mammoth in a coal mine. Interesting combo. It's a southern mammoth (mammuthus meridionalis).
