Mammoth Tooth Found in San Francisco Construction Site A crane
operator working on a transit project in San Francisco unearthed
a tooth of a woolly mammoth on Monday. Paleontologist James
Allen told ABC News’ San Francisco affiliate, KGO-TV, that the
tooth was believed to be between 10,000 and 11,000 years old,
and that the fossil was in good condition. “The Bay was a grassy
valley with herds of these extinct critters just roaming
around,” said Allen. “It’s a big deal, so we can study it, get
some age dates, which help us figure out tectonics [and]
seismicity like the San Andreas Fault.” The 10-inch long
fragment of tooth was found by crane operator Brandon Valasik
110 feet underground. probably trying to make a clone as we
