Featured on Episode 2 of the 2009-2010 season
Cave explorer B.T. Price made a mammoth discovery recently in the Anderson ranch near Spring Branch, Texas. He discovered remains that have been identified as a leg bone and a tooth from a prehistoric mammoth or mastodon. The mammoth most likely fell into the cave through a sinkhole thousands of years ago. Price manages the cave for the ranch’s owner. Scholars from the university that examined the bones will visit the cave soon.

I would like to join Mr. Price on his cave searches in Texas. It would be a dream come true! It must be very exciting to find mammoth bones.
