"The 2,000-foot-long Riverbluff Cave has been sealed for at least 55,000 years, giving researchers an opportunity to study this prehistoric cave. Some of the discoveries include:
turtle shells of extinct species
a 660,000-year-old wooly or meridian or new species of mammoth
a juvenile mammoth
a giant 3-foot-long armadillo
a 350-pound ice-age pig
a 700-pound American lion
2-foot-long claw marks from a short-faced bear (the largest bear that ever lived, standing six feet tall on all fours, and stretching 10 feet in length)
25 beds where the bears hibernated
No human habitation of the cave has been found. The cave was sealed at least 55,000 years ago, maybe longer, and there is no evidence of humans in the area until 15,000 years ago."
