77 years ago, little ships like this,

:01:56.:01:57.

played a big part in an important military mission.

:01:58.:01:59.

Back in 1940, many countries around the world were fighting against each

:02:00.:02:01.

The German army invaded France and beat the British

:02:02.:02:14.

British, French and Belgian soldiers, who were on the same side,

:02:15.:02:18.

were trapped on the French beaches of Dunkirk, surrounded by the German

It was a dangerous moment. If the British troops couldn't get away,

the war could be lost. Back in Britain, a ragtag fleet of 900 votes

:02:46.:02:48.

turned into a movie. It's a very emotional story,

but the story of the little ships that played their part,

:03:16.:03:20.

and the ordinary people who risked their lives,

:03:21.:03:22.

continues to be told. Next what's the most exciting thing

:03:23.:03:27.

you've ever found on a family walk? Well 10-year-old Jude from America

:03:28.:03:30.

stumbled on something Back in November of last year me and

:03:31.:03:46.

my family decided to go on a bike ride.

:03:47.:03:48.

So far so ordinary, right? I went to the canal, I tripped on a task. On

:03:49.:04:00.

what? A task. My face landed next to the bottom jaw. I looked further up

:04:01.:04:05.

and saw another task. OK, we should explain. The thing Jude had tripped

:04:06.:04:10.

over really was a task. From an ancient fossil buried in the ground.

:04:11.:04:15.

It's from a creature 1.2 million years old called stager mastodon.

:04:16.:04:19.

They were from the same family as elephants and mammoths. They would

:04:20.:04:26.

have roamed parts of the US until 11,700 years ago. Jude called the

:04:27.:04:30.

experts and they started a big project to get this parcel out

:04:31.:04:36.

safely. Peter from New Mexico State University led the team, so how big

:04:37.:04:41.

a deal is the discovery? The fossil is probably about 1.2 million years

:04:42.:04:45.

old. This may be the only second that was found in New Mexico. Great

:04:46.:04:52.

work, Jude. That's all from me. Newsround is back tomorrow morning.
