BTW, there is a really cool "dig", at what was apparently a "water hole". Lots of pgymy Rhinos, pre-horses and other non predator species, that just got missed by those glaciers. It's in northern Nebraska, just west of the line which defines the maximum extent of the glaciers. Ashfall Fossil beds

My grandparents farm was just east of the line, in southern Nebraska. You should have seen all the smooth rocks, of various sorts of composition/materials, including flint, quartz, and other stuff, that the farmers kept finding in their fields. Frost heave pushed them up, but the glaciers smoothed them out. Some were nearly spherical, but most were more ovoid. The flint tended to be a very flattened ovoid.
