BEIJING: A team of paleontologists has uncovered a relatively well-preserved tetralophodon fossil in a former mine site in Wuzhong, Ningxia Hui autonomous region.
Estimated to be between nine million and 11 million years old, it's the region's first fully preserved large-mammal find in 10 years. Tetralophodons are posited to be ancient relatives of modern elephants.
