2nd Mammoth Tusk Found At SD Construction Site

SAN DIEGO -- Scientists have found a second mammoth tusk at the construction site for the new Thomas Jefferson School of Law in downtown San Diego's East Village, it was reported Friday.

The tusk, discovered Thursday, is the second of its kind to be found at the site this week, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported.

An 8-foot-long mammoth tusk was uncovered Wednesday about 20 feet below ground level by a backhoe operators, according to Chris Saunders, a spokesman for the law school.

A paleontologist on scene immediately stopped the digging, and experts from the San Diego Natural History Museum were called in to take over the unearthing process, according to Saunders.

Scientists from the museum then discovered a skull and other bones, according to Saunders."It was the first mammoth skull ever found in San Diego County," said Tom Demere, the curator of the museum's Department of Paleontology.

According to Demere, the remains are those of a Columbian mammoth, which roamed the Earth about 500,000 years ago.

The process of digging out all of the remains will take several days, before the mammoth will be put on display at the Balboa Park museum, according to the law school.

Workers excavating at the site of a St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in downtown in 2007 also found the tusk of a mammoth.

Construction on the $68.5 million, eight-story building at 11th and Island avenues is scheduled to be completed by the 2010-2011 school year.

The building will house the Thomas Jefferson School of Law

Iwill bet that the guy who owns that const. company and his workers are just as happy as a hog in shit about finding that shit.
Now the job is shut down, the crews are off work and for how the fuck long, no one knows.
We were always told that if we see anything like that to keep it quiet until no one is looking and then get rid of it somehow. unless it is so fresh it is stinking and happens to look human then call the cops,, but that old shit can keep you shut down for years.
Happen at Bonneville dam second powerhouse,,
Guys was digging and one says, "Damn look at that, looks like someone had a campfire there, sure as shit.
An old Indian fishing camp I guess, so for 3 fucking years them assholes was there with Demitasse spoons and camel hair brushes fucking the dog.
