Grant learns why it's important to wear a helmet, the hard way.
That's all thanks to a careful bulldozer operator named Jesse Steele. A little more than a year ago, Steele was working on a reservoir expansion in Snowmass, about 10 miles from Aspen, when he discovered a bone — a mammoth bone. And that was just the beginning.
Paleontologists from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science called to the scene discovered an entire Ice Age lake dating back between 45,000 and 150,000 years. Since then some 4,826 bones have been pulled from the site. Kirk Johnson, vice president of the museum's research and collections division and leader of the excavation team, calls it "one of the most significant fossil discoveries ever made in Colorado."
"Each one is incredibly well-preserved and will help us better understand the Ice Age at this high elevation," he said. Some of the plant matter is still green and one of the tusks is still white, even after tens of thousands of years. It is exceedingly rare, scientists said, to discover such a diversity of plants and animals from the Ice Age in one place.
