Come learn about Snowmastodon: the finest high-elevation Ice Age fossil discovery in North America!
The Snowmastodon Site is one of the largest fossil discoveries in Colorado history, the world's most significant mastodon find, and a remarkably complete record of climate change between 140,000-45,000 years ago.
During the excavation, scientists recovered over 6,000 large skeletal elements and 30,000 small skeletal elements belonging to mammoth, mastodon, bison, camel, horse, sloth, deer, and 45 species of smaller vertebrate animals.
The Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Center is dedicated to educating the public about this exciting find.
