A WILD DISCOVERY
Gold deposits, frozen earth and a
25,000-year-old woolly mammoth tusk—
they're the storybook fantasies of young
boys and grown men, especially SFU
doctoral student Grant Zazula (middle) and
Duane Froese (left), a post-doctoral fel-
low at SFU, who fi nd the 85-kg tusk when
exploring an Arctic creek bed near Dawson
City, Yukon. The pair co-writes a paper on
the discovery, which is published in Nature
magazine.
