Bones in Paris

The skeletal remains of a wooly mammoth were discovered north east of Paris France this past week. The almost entirely intact skeleton was found with spears heads mixed in the ruin, there were suspected to be from neanderthal spears.

The mammoth went extinct about 10000 years ago. The mammoth had a highly specialized diet, living almost entirely off the long grasses and willows that proliferated during the long ice age that gave birth the giant. When the ice age ground to a halt the grasses began dying out, driving the mammoth into ever more marginal habitats.
