Woolly Rhino Discovery In England

Posted by timothy on from the waiting-in-line-at-nhs dept.

purpleant writes "According to this story at the BBC, the remains of four woolly rhinos have been unearthed in an English quarry. Scientists describe the group find at Whitemoor Haye in Staffordshire as "extraordinary" and one of the best Ice Age discoveries of its type in Northern Europe in recent years. In addition to the great beasts, researchers have also dug out a remarkable range of superbly preserved plants and insects. One of the rhinos even has plant material still stuck to its teeth, giving possible clues to its last meal."

      That's your first, first post? You need to hit reload more often. I've probably got about fifty, myself, although since I always post as an AC this would be rather hard to proove..

      Hencefore, all my AC posts shall be sigged! (If others want to give me credit for their AC posts, well, whatever)

      Better idea: Create throwaway account so that I can keep track of responses WITHOUT having a 'Slashdot AC Posts' bookmark folder with hundreds of entries sorted by the week.

      Hell! Maybe I can post more than yerricde, or however that's spelled.
