Huge auction

-

A 15,000-YEAR-OLD skeleton of a woolly mammoth, the extinct giant of the Ice Age, will be auctioned next month in the French city of Lyon.

Standing more than 3m high, the skeleton has two gleaming tusks that weigh a combined 160kg, art expert Eric Mickeler said. The skeleton is estimated to be worth about €450,000 ($A750,400).
