On October 14, 2010, a bulldozer operator uncovered a partial mammoth skeleton in the Ziegler Reservoir near Snowmass Village, CO. Within two weeks it was clear the site also contained bones of mastodon and other ice age mammals. The Denver Museum of Nature & Science resonded with a team of 200 diggers and 38 scientists to analyze one of the largest fossil digs in the state’s history. The excavation revealed high elevation ice age ecosystems and 5000 bones from over 40 species of mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds.
