The 10,000 year old bones of a mammoth and other extinct mammals have been unearthed in the north end zone of Oregon State University's Reser Stadium.

Construction crews digging up earth during the expansion of the Valley Football Center expansion project...

Does anyone else see the irony here?

Construction projects are shut down by fossil finds so academics can dig. Now the academics’ construction project is shut down.

So...we are privvy to the “state-of-excitement” of a Fraternity next-door to a Sorority?

Meh...

Since the discovery does not include humans or ancient artifacts, it is not considered a protected archaeological site, university officials said. Oregon has no special regulations governing the preservation of paleontology finds.

Phew! The jocks won't be displaced after all. That was close!

Ping for the Mammoths to come get the remains of their ancestors for re-burial in the proper sacred manner.
