Well, after reading the whole article then running off to track down several other articles re this find, no one has asked the obvious question yet about how this much sediment, silt and clay washed into this little bowl in the ground fast enough to cover these critters. A glacial lake maybe broke through an ice dam sending a deluge along with the critters into the bowl? Just seems odd that “grazers” would be tooling around at 9,000 feet. But whadda I know???

What a phenomenal story! Thank you so much!
With the right sort of development and guidance by the University and the State out there, this could turn into an educational goldmine for the State. Imagine the tourists that will fly out there with their kids to show them the mastodon and other Pleistocene relics in situ - all of them together in the same site.
What an amazing find.

I know why they are smiling. Job security. Their one-year project just turned into a six-year endeavour. (Unless of course the owners just decide to stop the project, and spend the next 10 years trying to find and permit another site.

Wasn't that the middle era of the DOS Period? The final era, if memory serves.
