Dredging river yields 6,000-year-old elk horn
Residents dredging a river in Yancheng last week made an unusual find - an 80-centimeter, 1,958-gram branchlike item, which was identified as an elk horn subfossil dating back 6,000 years, Modern Express reported on Friday. A fossil is generally more than 50,000 years old, so the elk horn is classed as a subfossil.
