Scientists unearth an Ice Age bison skull near Snowmass Village,
Colorado, on November 6. "I'm trying to think of a cooler fossil that
I've even seen in my life," dig team member Kirk Johnson, chief curator
at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, said in a statement. The bison
skull is part of a "bumper crop" of Ice Age animals recently discovered
at the site, including American mastodons, Columbian mammoths, tiger
salamanders, and a Jefferson's ground sloth—the first ever found in
Colorado, according to the Denver museum. Construction workers stumbled
upon the Ice Age treasure trove in October while working on a
reservoir-expansion project.
