Scientists have identified the largest ever assemblage of mammoth bones.
team of scientists has discovered the largest collection to date of mammoth skeletons in one place, just outside Mexico City. The researchers have counted more than 200 individual mammoths to date—and believe there are still more to discover.
In 2018, the government announced the development of a new Mexico City airport at the Santa Lucía Air Force Base, north of the city. People have found mammoth remains in the northern part of the city and the wider region since the 1970s. So, Pedro Francisco Sánchez Nava, the national coordinator of archaeology of the National Institute of Anthropology and History, anticipated he and his colleagues would find more of these Pleistocene-era fauna in the area.
“We never assumed that there was going to be the quantity that we are looking at now,” says Sánchez. Just a few months ago, the team had identified 60 specimens. In September, the researchers confirmed counting more than 200 individuals. This find beats previous record-breaking collections of mammoths in California, South Dakota, and Siberia.
The remains date between 20,000 and 10,000 years in age. Sánchez remarks that these bones are not the product of a single event but the accumulation of some 10,000 years of mammoth presence in the region.

Cortez.. More genocide by white Europeans! :/
Wiped out due to natural climate change.
The worldwide Noahic Flood.
From the excerpt: “The remains date between 20,000 and 10,000 years in age.”
Long flood.
The flood story is in every prehistoric society all over the globe. Totally real event. Probably when the comet struck the Earth around 10-12k years ago and melted the polar ice caps.
Amazing when you think about it. Further proof of the historical basis of the bible.
Must be the rare sub tropical species, or maybe, just maybe, it was once very very cold down there, and the climate changed. Damn cavemen and there SUV’s!
True... evidence of this having occurred is all around us.
The meteor is generally believed to have hit more than 60 million years ago, prior to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Pretty good.
Good picture of its molar grinding surfaces...
We need to hurry up and start cloning these.
I’ll bet they’re tasty.
An invasive specie from Siberia wiped them out.
Flood, then the carcasses end up at a bow in the river (river long relocated or disappeared—
seen today in African rivers with Wildebeest victims)...
Survivors probably had the same need as today’s elephants to find, reflect, and grieve over relatives among the victims...
I said comet. Stick to you lone meteor conspiracy.
That’s a different strike. He’s talking about the Ice Age Comet Hypothesis for which there is more than ample evidence. In 10,800 BC comet fragments (believed to be from the Taurid Comet Eneke) struck the earth, principally in North America - this period last most of 100 years with repeated air-bursters and a few surface hits. All the megafauna and Clovis peoples were wiped out in the resulting ice shard bombardments and continent-wide firestorms.
The ice had begun to melt after the Keg Mountain period which caused worldwide flooding several thousand years prior. The Comet strike ushered in the Younger Dryas Period which was even colder than the Ice Age and lasted another 1000 years when another part of the comet cloud struck earth and ended the cold and began the present warming period we are in geologically. Then flooding occurred once more raising sea levels by some 400 feet wiping out any coastal towns, villages then existing - the worst happened in SE Asia with millions of square miles lost to the sea.
