I wonder what this is costing the contractor and owner in interest while this job is halted? It can't be cheap.

"An onsite paleontologist found the remains," ..

Good question on cost,, heavy machinery and operators aren't cheap, especially if they are just sitting there, idle.,, and paleontologists and specialists need to eat to. ;-)

altho the area is a recognized hot bed so to speak.. so they were on top of it pretty quick..

If they are clever, they might be able to recoup their costs in speaking fees, interview fees, movie options, etc. Besides, I don't know the law, but it's a possibility that legally, they now own a mammoth!
