San Diego Mammoth Found in Downtown San Diego
San Diego Real Estate Blog
A San Diego Mammoth Elephant which is technically a Columbian Mammoth not to be confused with the Wooly Mammoth was found at 
a construction site in Downtown San Diego. The bones were found at the future site for the Thomas Jefferson School of Law located in the East Village of Downtown San Diego. The Mammoth find is estimated to be around 500,000 years old. Paleontologists from the San Diego Natural History Museum are removing the bones and taking them to the Balboa Park location for closer examination. This will be the museums first Mammoth skull.
The site is just a few blocks from PETCO Park home of the San Diego Padres Major League Baseball Team.
The Columbian Mammoth lived in Northern America and Central America during the Middle and Late Pleistocene eras. They disappeared about 12 thousands years ago. The Columbian Mammoths were probably descendants of the Southern Mammoth and had very similar short hair to today’s modern day elephant although 20% larger. Some of the Mammoths in California that were isolated on islands were miniature and called Dwarf Columbian Mammoths. Normal sized Columbian mammoths weighed up to nine tons, and its enormous tusks were up to 16 feet long.
