Mammoth Tusk Discovered on Construction Dig

  (Las Vegas, NV) -- The seven-foot-long tusk of a Columbian mammoth has been discovered in the Las Vegas Valley.
   A team of scientists recently discovered the fossilized tusk while digging at the proposed Tule Springs National Monument on the north end of the valley.
   Eric Scott, the curator of paleontology at California's San Bernardino County Museum, says the discovery may be just the tip of the iceberg.
   He believes hundreds more fossils of mammals from the Ice Age are buried deep in the ground of the upper Las Vegas Wash, some dating back over 200-thousand years.
   Scott says both the Las Vegas Strip and downtown Vegas are built on an area where mammoths and bison once roamed.
   But years of construction have made those sites inaccessible.
   Local environmentalists are hoping for federal protection of Tule Springs as soon as possible.
