During the last Ice Age (Pleistocene c.2.58 million – 11,700 years ago), life and landscape of Maryland was vastly different. It was colder. There was no Chesapeake Bay. Mammoths, sabertoothed cats, bison and great beavers roamed a land dominated by coniferous woods and marshy tundra.
ABOUT THE MAMMOTH: ABOUT THE MAMMOTH: This mammoth was excavated in Alaska in partnership with local Native Alaskan communities using an ecologically friendly approach (fossils taken to surface via natural erosion).”
