Mammoth tusk recovered from deep sea
Scientists at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute made a surprising discovery while using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to explore the waters off California.

The finding suggests that the ocean floor could be an as-yet-untapped source of palæontological treasures.
