I've found the abstract for the article at the Science website. I'm very disappointed ... There is no suggestion that the finds were off Portugal but instead came from the American Continental Shelf!..
If Frank Joseph really just imagined his claims.. If this has been a wild goose chase.

Teeth of mastodons and mammoths have been recovered by fishermen from at least 40 sites on the continental shelf as deep as 120 meters. Also present are submerged shorelines, peat deposits, lagoonal shells, anz relict sands. Evidently elephants and other large mammals ranged this region during the glacial stage of low sea level of the last 25,000 years.
