Leeds Museums and Galleries learning and access officer Jed Atkinson examines the huge mammoth tusk at the Leeds Discovery Centre. The prehistoric appendage was discovered in the former open cast site near Temple Newsam in the late 1960s, more than 38,000 years after the extinct, ice age behemoth it once belonged to died. Today, the remarkable find is among countless objects spanning millions of years of history being cared for during an annual deep clean carried out by experts at the Leeds Discovery Centre.
