| Luria Library displays amazing ice age fossils
| |
Long, long ago in the region where we now live, there roamed Columbian mammoths, cave bears, dire wolves, saber-tooth cats and giant sloths. Fossils of these "Pleistocene Megafauna" are on display in the Luria Library, where they should be seen up close in order to get a sense of how enormous they were. Consider the sloth: Today's sloths average 24" to 31" long and weigh between 8 to 17 pounds. Its ice-age ancestor (whose femur is on display) was approximately 10 feet tall and weighed an estimated 2,200 pounds!
