Mammoth Bones Found at Oregon State's Reser Stadium During Construction

Animal bones dating back to the Ice Age, including a potential femur from a mammoth, were discovered this week at the Reser Stadium construction site at Oregon State University.

Anthony Rimel of the Corvallis Gazette-Times passed along word of the rare find. OSU spokesman Steve Clark provided the outlet with further details about what was found.

"We believe we have an intact femur from a mammoth," Clark said. "There also appear to be bones from other species, including possibly a bison and a camel."
