THE ICE AGEA large amount of bones were found when Indiana Caverns (a portion of Binkley Cave System) was discovered in 2010. Radio carbon testing revealed that these bones dated back to the Ice Age, some 38,000 to 42,000 years ago! A wide variety of animals entered the cave before the natural entrance into the Big Bone Mountain room closed at least 15,000 years ago.
Two scientific digs by the Indiana State Museum uncovered dozens of peccary skulls, a black bear skull, a juvenile bison, a fisher skeleton, bird bones, snake remains, bear wallows, claw marks and more. These bones are of significant importance because of their amazing condition. You’ll see some of these amazing fossils on your cave tour.
“Indiana Caverns is a significant site for Ice Age animals.” Ron Richards, ISM, Indiana State Paleontologist
