Great logo. We have many such sabertooths around here under the frozen muck. Miners unearth them. They get pelts, bones, other tissue out of the muck, which is 100 feet deep in places. Musk ox, too, but we still have musk ox walking around. Looks like a sudden catastrophe buried them whole [or crushed] and froze them solid about 10,000 years ago.

Looks like a sudden catastrophe buried them whole [or crushed] and froze them solid about 10,000 years ago.That's for sure, and all over Siberia too. I knew about the mammoths, but not about the Smilodons.
Any links on that?
Based on the absence of putrification on the mammoths, and the particular species of plants found on their molars, the mammoths died in the Spring, and went from 60 or 70 degrees to over 100 below zero in the space of a few hours.
Most of my friends down here are in the Tar Pit.
