Ancient Remains Found At Balmoral


The Queen of England's country estate, Balmoral, in Scotland, has a long history but that history may be a lot longer than the Queen's lineage. The Telegraph reports that fossilized bones belonging to a prehistoric woolly mammoth have been found on the estate. The mammoth remains were found as a workers were digging test holes for a new fishing loch. The bones include a molar tooth and a knee joint and have been taken to the University of Aberdeen for testing to determine their age.
