Hi, the age of the fossils is yet to be determined. However, the following is in our news article: "... the Cretan specimen was most similar to the species M. meridionalis that lived in Europe 2.5 million to 800,000 years ago ... But we couldn't rule out another species M. rumanus ... This means the ancestor ... could have reached Crete as long ago as 3.5 million years ... the next step is to try and find out how long ago the dwarf mammoth was living on Crete"
