Museum Announces Plans for “Digging Snowmastodon” Book
Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Aspen-based People’s Press partner on first-person account of historic Ice Age fossil find near Snowmass Village
About The Snowmastodon Project™
In October 2010, a bulldozer operator working near a Colorado ski area uncovered the tusk of a young female mammoth. Over the next 10 months, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science conducted its largest-ever fossil excavation, yielding a treasure trove of well-preserved Ice Age fossils. Museum crews uncovered 5,000 bones of 41 kinds of Ice Age animals, including mammoths, mastodons, ground sloths, camels, deer, horses, and giant bison. The preserved series of Ice Age fossil ecosystems is one of the most significant fossil discoveries ever made in Colorado. This discovery at Ziegler Reservoir near Snowmass Village will change forever our understanding of alpine life in the Ice Age. To learn more, visit www.dmns.org/science/the-snowmastadon-project
