North Sea mammoths at Schiphol

In Ice Age Britain on Radio 4, Howard Stableford met a mad Dutch customs officer who has 17,000 mammoth bones in his 3-story house near Schipol airport. They were dredged up by fishermen in the North Sea, which was a vast savannah 50,000 years ago during the last ice age. He even has a piece of mammoth skin from Siberia, which has preserved their smell!
