Impeccably preserved woolly mammoth skeleton, as well as flint spearheads, found near Paris. Full Story: French archaeologists finished up the excavation of an impeccably preserved woolly mammoth skeleton on Thursday at a quarry 50 km east of Paris. Scientists working at the excavation site applied a silicon cast to the mammoth remains before they removed it. The nearly complete mammoth skeleton, only the fifth such specimen found on French soil, is causing a stir in the archaeological community not only for its completeness — a rare occurrence in itself — but also for the flint spearheads found amongst the remains. The discovery will allow archaeologists and scientists to better understand early humans' relationship with the colossal mammal. Nicknamed Helmut by the excavation team, the mammoth's skeleton is estimated to date from 125000 to 200000 years ago.
