Prehistoric Marvel: Scientists Unearth 8-Million-Year-Old Elephant-like Fossil in Macedonia, Weighing 10 Tons and Suggesting a 50-Year Lifespan

Image
Palaeontologists from Bulgaria and Macedonia are excavating the fossilised remains of a prehistoric elephant-like creature believed to pre-date the mammoth, after its bones were discovered accidentally by a man working in a field. Scientists at the Natural Science Museum of Macedonia and the Natural History Museum of Sofia, Bulgaria said they began excavating the skeleton in Dolni Disan in central Macedonia last month. They estimated the animal, known as a Mastodon, would have weighed about 10 tons and have been about 50 years old at the time of its death, roughly 8 million years ago during the Miocene epoch. Biljana Garevska of the Natural Science Museum in Skopje said the fossil was of one of the elephant’s ancestors which roamed the region at a time when it was covered by African-like savannah. The fossils were discovered on April 24 but the Ministry of Culture of Macedonia released new photos today. The Latin name is ‘Choerolophodon’ and it lived both in Europe an

Amazing Found: Fossil Hunters Discover Gigantic Jaws and Teeth of 180-Million-Year-Old Ichthyosaur, the Predatory Sea Reptile in Holderness, Yorkshire

While scouring the glacial till that comprises England’s eastern coastal cliffs, a pair of Yorkshire fossil hunters made a colossal discovery some 180 million years in the making. Late last summer, Mark Kemp, 34, a self-taught, professional fossil finder and preparator, and a friend who shares the pastime were exploring the rugged cliffline of Holderness, northwest of Hull, between the towns of Mappleton and Cowden. This rugged section of coast, comprised of unsorted sedimentary deposit from long-melted, once-massive glaciers, is known to yield the bones of dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles. Kemp’s companion that day stumbled on a glacial erratic—a hunk of exotic rock deposited from elsewhere—with a fossil that looked particularly promising.

Patriots - Steelers: times, how to watch on TV, stream online | NFL

Image
Well, it seems like the Patriots got caught in a downpour of disappointment on Sunday, getting drenched with a 6-0 loss against the Los Angeles Chargers. The offense has been playing hide-and-seek with the end zone lately, only managing to find it for a measly 13 points in the last 3 games . Meanwhile, the defense has been playing the role of a strict bouncer, only allowing a paltry 26 points to slip past them. The Steelers had a not-so-pleasant encounter with the rain gods on Sunday, as they stumbled their way to a 24-10 defeat against the Arizona Cardinals. Adding insult to injury, QB Kenny Pickett decided to take the phrase quite literally and exited the Game with an ankle injury. As if that wasn’t enough, the medical experts then decided to throw in some extra drama by determining that surgery is needed.
