ISRAEL-ARCHAEOLOGY

Archaeologists, paleontologists and conservators from Israel Antiquities Authority, Tel Aviv University and Ben Gurion University, work at the site where a 2.5-meter-long tusk from an ancient straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) was discovered, near Kibbutz Revadim in southern Israel on August 31 2022. - Dr. Eitan Mor, a biologist from Jerusalem, was the first to discover the fossil. He visited the area out of curiosity after reading about prehistoric elephants. Mor says, To my surprise, I spotted something that looked like a large animal bone peeping out of the ground. When I looked closer, I realised that it was the real thing, so I rushed to report it to the Israel Antiquities Authority".
