Additional Description: Caption: (bottom left) In order to recover as much information as possible about the Tolo Lake mammoths and the environment in which they lived and died, the lake bed was gridded into five-meter squares to allow careful sampling of the sediments and recording and photographing of all the fossil elements in place before they were removed.
