Ancient Paleolithic ivory tusk found in Algeria
A team of researchers in Algeria discovered a tusk of an extinct Atlantic elephant species. It is believed to date back to the Paleolithic era and is considered one of the largest herbivores that lived in Africa during the early and middle Pleistocene. The tusk was found at the archaeological site of "Rjal Tignouf" in Mascara Province, and it is remarkably well-preserved, measuring approximately 2.35 meters in length. This makes it one of the most complete specimens of its kind in North Africa. The specimen will undergo scientific studies to learn more about the life of this elephant and the conditions of its existence before extinction.
