Snowmass Ice Age Discovery: In October, 2010 a bulldozer operator named Jesse Steele uncovered the bones of a large animal while working on the expansion of Ziegler Reservoir near Snowmass Village and he knew he’d found something very unusual. A call was made to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and a few days later Dr. Ian Miller, curator of paleontology, arrived on the scene. He encountered one of the most significant scientific discoveries in Colorado history. Now, the Museum is focusing on preserving the fossils from this Ice Age treasure trove, and assembling a top team of scientific experts who will learn everything they can about this amazing discovery.
