Velikovsky started one of his books with a tour of the carcass fields of Fairbanks, Alaska. I happen to live in Fairbanks, and if Siberia is anything like this, they, too, are walking on wooly mammoth bones and saber-tooth tiger hides everywhere they set foot. The valleys are filled with frozen muck 100 feet thick, and the muck is filled with mostly clay-like frozen dust and these carcasses. We call it muck, but when it dries it is just dust. It's not solid with carcasses, you see, but there plenty of them. When they cleared the muck overburden with steam and water points and water giants, tons of these carcasses came to light. The top levels of the muck are layed down in thin layers, probably as annual deposits of wind-blown loess, but I don't know that when you go deeper there are any layers at all but it all came in at once like in a huge storm. Something happened, but we just build our cabins on top and live happily ignorant of prehistoric events.

I've read about some of these debris fields. They find entire, intact skeletons right next to crushed bones and critters that were literally torn apart, ripped to shreds. Whatever happened, no way was it just a bunch of animals decided this would be a nice place to lay down and die and spend their last few hours. Entire forests have been found, under layers of muck, looking like they went thru some sort of cosmic blender.
