With On Sunday morning the paleontologists began w orking around 7 a.m. Through the course of the day the tusk was uncovered bit by bit. Early that morning two teeth were found, one from a prehistoric horse, the other from some sort of carnivore. These teeth were found within a foot of the area the tusk was in. This was a good sign to the paleontologists, because it meant that there could be multiple species around the dig site. grow longer, around 1 p.m., another bone was found right next to the mammoth tusk. Professor Davis thought the bone may be from the leg o f a prehistoric camel that had been caught during a flash flood.

They then quickly realized that this was a fragment, not the w hole tusk. With dusk approaching, a cast was put on the rest of the tusk to keep it from falling apart while being moved. At 5:30 p.m. Oct. 6. the tusk was successfully removed and carried out of the ravine to the hilltop. With the plaster cast, and a pile of dirt on the tusk, the final weight was between 150-200 pounds. At 7 p.m. the lone mammoth tusk left town and headed to Eugene to go back to the University of Oregon for cleaning and temporary display in their new museum.
