IT’S GONNA BE A
MAMMOTH SUMMER!
In October 2010, a bulldozer operator working in Snowmass
Village at Ziegler Reservoir 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 more than 5,000 bones of
41 kinds of Ice Age animals, including mammoth, mastodon,
ground sloth, camel, deer, horse, and giant bison.
Visit the Snowmass Ice Age Discovery Center to learn more
about this fascinating Ice Age discovery. At the IADC, you can
touch mammoth and mastodon teeth and bones, wonder at
a half-sized 6’ wooden Mammoth skeleton, see video from
Denver Museum of Nature & Science and National Geographic,
and learn the story of the Snowmass Ice Age discovery. The
IADC on the Snowmass Mall is built for kids with plenty of
things for adults to enjoy too. Open 10:00am to 5:00pm.
June 1 – October 1. Call 970.922.2277.
