Greek mastodon find 'spectacular'
The tusks were well preserved (pic: Prof Evangelia Tsoukala, 2007)
The remains of a prehistoric mastodon - a mammoth-like animal - have been found in northern Greece, including intact long tusks.
A Dutch scientist at the site, Dick Mol, says the find near Grevena should help explain why mastodons died out in Europe two to three million years ago.
The mastodon's tusks measure 5m (16.5ft) and 4m, Mr Mol told the BBC.
They are the longest tusks ever found on a prehistoric elephant-like animal. "It is spectacular," Mr Mol said.

There have also been rare mastodon finds in northern Europe, notably in England, Germany and the Netherlands.
Mastodons are thought to have first appeared about five million years ago and became extinct in North America about 10,000 years ago - much later than in Europe.
The animals were similar to woolly mammoths, but had tusks that pointed forwards, rather than spiralling upwards. Their teeth were also different.
The team of palaeontologists, including Professor Evangelia Tsoukala of Greece's Aristotle University in Thessaloniki (Salonica), began the excavation on 16 July and is planning to finish it on Wednesday.
User (Birmingham UK) said " I think that a friend of mine will be very interested in this evidence"

Does anyone know what really did happen to Mister Paul?
He and I disagreed on many things but the sparring was fun.

Yes, Strangely he contacted me today regarding a mutual friend of ours who was killed in an accident a few years ago. Driver has been sentenced to 4.5 years, and then 4 years driving ban after he gets out.
Still around, but not on here. Nor in Birmingham.

Always thoroughly enjoyed Bonj's posts. Controversial, argumentative (but I thought in a funny way)...often brought something quite new and odd to the table.

And Reiver. I always remember his swallow nest photos when I see the first swallows of the year.

No. He had a massive strop over nothing and went off somewhere. No one missed him.
