A man from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, east of Edmonton, made the discovery of a lifetime while working on a project in his yard.
Jarrod Cardinal was digging a hole for a project in his yard — until his shovel struck a hard object roughly six feet in the ground.
Pictures of the mystery find were sent to a paleontologist at the University of Alberta. Not only is it old — but it comes from an animal you only see or hear about in museums.
The vast majority of woolly mammoths have been extinct for about 11,000 years, since the end of the last ice age.
They were known to have roamed parts of Alberta, but finding part of one is something Cardinal said he would have never thought he’d come across.
