During excavations at the Sherman County Paleoindian site, mammoth and camel bones (foreground) were discovered about 4 m (12 ft) below the surface. These bones are about 12,300 years old and may represent a pre-Clovis archaeological horizon (photograph by Rolfe Mandel).

Mammoth bones, several feet in length, exposed after excavation.
