Team member Markus Broch enjoin theTelegraph :

“ During the Ice Age there was no ocean between Holland and England and these great beasts drift and pall there . That is why their bones are still found by gravy boat fish in the North Sea . My father - in - police , who is a fisher , start collecting these bone at immature age because he was fascinate by them , and has now assembled a very large aggregation . We started selling duplicate from his compendium online some years ago , which went so well that our business [ has ] produce and grown . Most weeks we go to the sportfishing ports to come across the fishing vessel and buy the fossils they caught . Sometimes we charter a boat of our own and go for special ‘ fogy hunt ’ expeditions . Because we see so many fogy we work very closely with the leading expert in the field , and we have assembled a number of consummate skeleton of mammoths . ”

There ’s a very practical need for companies like North Sea Fossils ; if you ’ll recall , a mammoth skeleton “ complete with tusks”sold for $ 300,000to a individual collector at a tardy - November British auction .

Of course , there ’s also the current quest to clone a mammoth , which is apparently ( allegedly)drawing closer to becoming a reality . As NBC cheekilypoints out , “ It ’s not vindicated what impression a gigantic resurrection would have on the market for Ice Age specimens . ”
