Mammoth Discoveries in Snowmass




Last Friday I visited with some of the scientists working at the dig site in Snowmass Village where fossil bones have been found. The remains of mammoths, mastodons, a giant ground sloth, Ice Age bison and more have been discovered at the Ziegler Reservoir. What I heard over and over again from those who have been at the site is what an amazing discovery it is. They emphasized how quickly the discovery has grown since the first bone was found October 14th. It's also significant that the find is at such a high elevation, above 8000 feet. Here are some photos of the discoveries...
