Mine workers make a mammoth discovery
For the second time this year, workers at True North Mine have found what appear to be mammoth tusks.
The tusks were uncovered Tuesday in the loose, moist dirt of the mine's northcentral pit.
Shovel operator Bob Farra spotted and removed the tusks, including one seemingly complete tusk and two smaller pieces, said Lorna Shaw, a spokeswoman for mine owner Fairbanks Gold Mining Inc.
