Mammoth
Tusk Remains Recovered in Eddy County, (New Mexico & The West)
Byline: The Associated Press
Texas Hiker Discovered Fragment in Streambed
CARLSBAD -- A
hiker has discovered what's left of a 10,000- to 20,000-year-old mammoth
tusk, and it took a federal agency to free it from a streambed south of
Carlsbad.
Bill Loos said he found part of the tusk protruding from an earthen bank
in a draw in southern Eddy County last year.
"It looked like a root at first until I looked again. It was
exciting because then I knew it was a mammoth tusk," said Loos, a
power plant engineer from Monahans, Texas.
Soon afterward, Loos alerted the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, then
showed BLM archaeologist Rose Marie Havel where it was.
But then Mother Nature threw a curveball. In June 1998 the dry streambed
became a wet streambed, and the tusk was suddenly under water.
It was decided that a channel would be dug to divert water away from the
tusk.
Permission had to come from the Army Corps of Engineers, then BLM
workers along with wildlife biologist Ray Keller and archaeologist Doug
Melton, both also from the BLM, took in a backhoe and two portable
pumps.
They dug a ditch, lined it with plastic and rigged up hoses to pump
water away from the site.
Last week, some 18 months after Loos' original discovery, the mammoth
tusk fragment was removed.
Besides Melton and Keller, those participating in the excavation were
Loos; his 11-year-old daughter, Rebecca; BLM geologist Mike McGee; BLM
paleontologist Mike O'Neill of Albuquerque; and Gary Morgan,
paleontologist with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History.
Accompanying them was Dulce Wassil, a senior honor student from the
University of New Mexico.
While they pumped the water away, fragments of the tusk were found in
nearby dirt and gravel. Several pieces of mammoth ribs also were found
and removed.
"I think what we have here is a busted up mammoth that flowed down
the streambed," O'Neill said. "This is a high-energy stream
environment. The tusks are the first thing to get separated from the
skull. It looks like it (the tusk) was buried and washed down within the
last few decades."
"I think that we have the tusk and ribs of a Columbian Mammoth,
possibly 11 feet at the shoulders and weighing 6 1/2 tons, from late
Pleistocene or early Holocene (geological time periods)," O'Neill
said.
After removal, the fragments will be cleaned, stabilized, classified,
radiocarbon-dated and placed on display in the Museum of Natural History
in Albuquerque _________________
