YouTube Description
as posted by the channel@TuckerCarlson Taphonomy, the study of how life becomes fossil, shows how fragile the record really is.
In 1980s Africa, drought killed thousands of elephants at waterholes; within five years, nothing remained. Yet at sites like Big Bone Lick, dozens of mastodons are preserved together in clay, dated as a mass kill.
The question becomes: what forces entombed them so completely and how many events like this lie hidden in prehistory?
