Builders Stumble Across Ice Age 'graveyard'
Builders stumble across ice age 'graveyard' filled with fossilized remains of dozens of huge animals.


Building contractors have unearthed an ice age graveyard containing the fossilised remains of dozens of giant animals that died up to 150,000 years ago.

Mammoths, mastodons and a giant ground sloth were all discovered at the bottom of a drained reservoir near the Aspen ski resort in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.

The remains are thought to be one of the largest collections of animals from the last ice age to be found in one place, reported the Daily Telegraph.

This was big news locally a few weeks ago.

Some want to change the name of Snowmass to Snowmastodon.

What makes more sense is that an ice dam broke from a glacier, and the water washed them into one spot, where they were so deep for so long that oxygen could not get to them and destroy them. Also, ice water has less germs in it, and thus it slows the decay rate.

"gravitated towards the water" is better than some average schmuck saying "well, maybe they fell in the water and drowned or sumthin"

Scientists also announced that over the passage of time, and the presence of water, some of the remains of these animals froze during the ice age, and were later fossilized.

Someone should take all of the politicians of the world, through them in a pit and freeze it over. Future generations can laugh at their oddness when they are again uncovered.

Yeah that probably happened too, I just think a huge and sudden flood might have been responsible for this. I remember hearing of similar finds in North America.
