    On Monday, construction crews working on an expansion to Oregon State’s Reser Stadium found a little bit more than just pay dirt while digging in the north end zone of the football field.

    The crew uncovered a large intact femur of a mammoth that roamed the earth roughly 10,000 years ago according to a release from Oregon State University.
