>>The discovery in the Auvergne region could shed much needed light
on the evolution of these mighty beasts.

Many isolated teeth of steppe mammoth have been found, but only a handful
of skeletons exist; and in these surviving specimens, the skull is rarely intact.

Palaeontologists Frederic Lacombat and Dick Mol describe this skull specimen
as being well preserved. <<

I can't wait to see a picture of the skull, once they get all the dirt off of it.
