From the title, I at first thought that some kid had found a whole Woolly Rhino!

The atlas vertebra might be the next best thing...

yeah, sounds like a "canned hunt" to a certain extent. the media kind of creates their own news sometimes. wonder how they knew the rhino was wooley just from looking at a neck vert...

i think i'm probably jealous.

The site is a Pleistocene site, Woolly Rhinos were common for that era and location... in fact I believe it was the only type of rhino in the British isles(I may be wrong about that, but pretty sure.)
