January was Fossils and Mammoths month at the library. Students brought in great fossils to display. They learned about mammoths and ice age creatures using the educational mammoth kits loaned to us by the mammoth site in Hot Springs, S.D. Colorado is full of mammoth sites. In 2010, near Snowmass, Colo., a bulldozer operator found huge mammoth bones near what was a watering hole during the ice age. The small lake was used by ancient elephants such as mammoths and mastodons. There have been 4,826 fossils found at the site in the 69-day dig period. Bones from 40 different mastodons of all ages were unearthed. The site would be a great place to visit this summer. To cap off library month we were thrilled to have a big green prehistoric visitor. He came to lunch and visited the classes.
