1. 20,000 years ago the earth was in the middle of an
Ice Age. Much of North America was covered with glaciers.

2. Large animals roamed
the earth. Some animals
look familiar but were
much BIGGER during the
Ice Age.

3. The bones of one particular fish really caught the attention of scientists
The fish only used to live in
Northeast Asia, during the Ice
Age but that was not where
they found its bones.

4. The bones of this Asian fish were found in Wyoming 20,000 years after the fish had lived.
The fish bones seemed to have been cut with a sharp object.
The bones also had burn marks on them.

5. How does this fishy fossil help prove that people may have
crossed Beringia 20,000 years ago?
