The first person to see it was a shovel operator working the night shift, noticing a white gleam as he scooped up a large pile of soil and dumped it into the disposal truck.
Then, after the truck driver unloaded the cargo, a dozer operator was ready to level the ground but paused for a moment to take a closer look when he also spotted the white piece. It was only then that the miners realized they had unearthed something special: a 7-foot (2.1-meter) mammoth tusk that had been buried for thousands of years.
According to David Straley, executive of North American Coal, the owner of the mine.
The miners dug the ivory from the bottom of the old river, about 40 feet (12.1 meters) underground, at Freedom Mine near Beulah, North Dakota. This 45,000-acre (18,210-hectare) surface mine produces up to 16 million tons (14.5 million metric tons) of lignite coal each year. After discovering the ivory, the crews stopped excavation in the area and called in experts, who estimated the ivory to be between 10,000 and 100,000 years old.
Jeff Person, a paleontologist from the North Dakota Geologic Survey, is one of those who responded. He expressed surprise that the mammoth tusk did not suffer more damage, considering the large equipment used at the site.

The next excavation at the discovery site uncovered more bones. The findings are described as a "collection of discoveries," totaling more than 20 bones, including shoulder bones, rib bones, a tooth, and part of a hip bone. However, this is possibly the most complete mammoth found in North Dakota, where it is more common to excavate isolated mammoth bones, teeth, or tusk fragments.

Mammoth used to roam in parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America.
Example mammoths have been found throughout the United States and Canada, said Paul Ullmann, a vertebrate paleontologist from the University of North Dakota.
"The discovery of this mine is quite rare in North Dakota and its surrounding areas, as many remains of animals that lived during the last Ice Age were destroyed by glaciation and the movement of ice sheets," said Ullmann.
Other areas have produced more mammoth remains, such as skeletal layers in Texas and South Dakota. People have even found frozen carcasses in the permafrost of Canada and Siberia, they said. Mammoths went extinct about 10,000 years ago in what is now North Dakota, according to the Geological Survey. They were larger than current elephants and were covered in thick fur. Cave paintings dating back 13,000 years depict mammoths.
Ullmann referred to mammoths as "media superstars almost as big as dinosaurs," quoting the "Ice Age" film franchise. These ivory tusks, weighing more than 50 pounds (22.6 kilograms), are considered fragile. The object is wrapped in plastic as paleontologists try to control how quickly it dehydrates. If it dehydrates too quickly, the bones can break and crumble, said Person.
The following is the translation of the 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags: "The bones will remain in plastic for at least several months until scientists can find a safe way to extract the water. Paleontologists will identify the mammoth species later, said Person."
The mining company plans to donate those bones to the state government for educational purposes.
North Dakota has a landscape that is ripe for bones and fossils, including dinosaurs. One of the most famous fossils from this state is Dakota, a duck-billed dinosaur preserved with fossilized skin, said Ullmann. The rich fossil record in this state is largely due to the "low, fertile, and ecologically productive environment in the past," said Ullmann.
