Imagine that your mechanism pushed a mastodon tusk many feet absolutely straight down into the ground ... One of the possibilities are the man-made round stones found with the bones, and that the one inch thick bones had the marrow removed by use of said stones. That’s just the neighborhood smilodon, you say? Using tools ... clever cats, eh?
Whether you are convinced or not, it seems that many of those with credentials, who have actually looked and studied this find over the years, do no dismiss this find out of hand as you have sight unseen.

Some have, most agree with me.
As for “man made round stones” that aspect of the find is considered speculative as well.
If there were clear stone tools at the site, mixed with the bones, it would be an extraordinary find. But there were no unambiguous stone tools.
