Today we went to the largest, best preserved site of Mammoth bones in the world. It was a sink hole once filled with water that trapped these now extinct creatures. The unique circumstances provided for the amazing preservation of these bones. Very cool to see the actual dig pit with so many bones in it – I’d say this was definitely a good educational trip, if you are ever in the area.
We also went to the nearby Wind Cave National Park and took a cave tour. While the cave has virtually no stalactites, stalagmites or other formations created by dripping water, the unique feature of these caves is the box
work formations. These formations are only found in significance in the Black Hills because the chemistry which created the boxwork is unique to these caves.
