A Michigan farmer was stunned when he unearthed a 15,000-year-old mammoth skeleton on his land.
James Bristle dug up the skull, tusks and other bones of the animal that had likely been butchered by early human hunters.
Bristle made the incredible discovery as he installed a drainage pipe in one of his wheat fields near Ann Arbor.
Bristle's backhoe had bumped into a 3-foot-long bone, later identified
as part of a mammoth pelvis, according to paleontologists at the
University of Michigan.
