Archaeologists made history in Oregon on Sunday when they recovered the second tusk of a 44,000-year-old mammoth near McMinnville. Mike Full, an ex-police officer in the area, led a team of archaeologists and volunteers who uncovered the 26-inch portion of what was once a 6-foot tusk along the South Yamhill River. It's the first time both tusks from a single mammoth have been found in Oregon.
