(FILES) In this March 9, 2011 file image, paleontologist Trevor Valle works on cleaning Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) Zed's skull in the Fishbowl lab of the Page Museum in Los Angeles, California. Zed is the prize find in a fossil treasure trove unexpectedly unearthed on a Los Angeles building site in 2006, when workmen digging for a new parking lot stumbled on the prehistoric beast's skull. "The Zed deposit was actually found by a bulldozer, by a piece of heavy equipment that took off the top six inches of his skull," said Trevor Valle of the Page Museum, which has meticulously cleaned some 80 percent of Zed's bones.
