California Construction Workers Find 45-Million-Year-Old Fossil Bones

Construction workers in California have discovered fossilised bones believed to date back 45 million years, uncovering traces of an ancient creature.

The remains are thought to belong to an animal described as a “thunder beast” or swamp rhinoceros. That identification remains tentative.

The reported age places the fossils millions of years before humans appeared, offering a glimpse of the prehistoric wildlife that once inhabited the region.

Details about the precise location of the discovery, the number of bones recovered and how their age was determined were not provided in the account.
