UCMP's Jenny McGuire and Randy Irmis continue to work on the jacket for the block containing the mammoth's pelvis. They've added some 2x4s to the jacket to strengthen it. © 2005 UCMP
Now they use picks and shovels to begin trenching around the block containing the tusks and partial skull. © 2005 UCMP
As they clear the area around the tusks and skull, Randy finds a partial rib fragment (about one foot long). © 2005 UCMP
With the rib fragment jacketed, the pick and shovel work continues. © 2005 UCMP
Toward the end of the day, Jenny finds two more small bones, possibly from the foot of this mammoth. © 2005 UCMP
