Mammoth Site, Hot Springs, N.Dak.

We were able to squeeze one more site into our weekend. This is a working archaeological dig where they have found over 50 skeletal remains of wooly mammoths. They are still finding them. Volunteers and interns come every summer and dig. They leave the bones where they are when they unearth them as they are not fossilized and are fragile. This was a sinkhole that filled woth water from a spring and they believe when the animals came to drink they fell in and were unable to get out so drowned. It's an amazing place.
