The Mammoth Site, South Dakota
The Mammoth Site was born in the mid-1970s, after construction-related excavations reviewed a (not literal) handful of mammoth skeletons in Hot Springs, South Dakota. The mammoth bones—from 60 Columbian mammoths and three woolly mammoths, so far—are overwhelmingly male and appear to have died in what was an ancient sinkhole, according to Atlas Obscura.
