Animal Graveyard

At https://dailygalaxy.com/2025/07/ancient-mammoths-giraffes-found-turkey/ … paleontologists have uncovered a heap of fossilised animal remains in what is now Turkey. The remains were stumbled upon by a local goatherd. The site is also located on the side of a river, near Kayseri. Giraffes, elephants, mammoths, rhinoceros, horses, bovids, turtles and pigs were part of the assemblage – in what is described as a dense formation. A tightly packed heap of animal remains. One of the excavators, and a spokesman to the media, tells us it looks like a mass die-off event was responsible for the remains. Some kind of catastrophe was responsible. However, in this instance it doesn’t seem to be that water played a role in heaping up the bones. For a start, they are not a jumbled mass of disarticulated bones, Some of the animals are surprisingly still intact – even if jam packed together.
