Piles of bones were found by Alaska miners going way back into the previous century. Hydraulic mining ( water canons ) was used to sluice hillsides away to move the slurry to the processing areas. They had bones up the ying-yang. In areas that were not being mined, concentrations of bones that were deposited by water have been found in Alaska and Siberia. In the previous century, theories on Earth-crust displacement spawned ideas of tsunamis washing the animals to their final resting place. Those theories do not hold water. Besides bones, jumbled up layers of loess are found. Water did not come from the sea side. The animals were drowned and washed down stream from glacial lake outbursts sourced in Canada. I looked into this years ago and looks like I will need to put some material in Campfire Chat. The destruction and power of a glacial lake outburst is difficult to comprehend. A lot of bones have been washed out to sea. The outbursts repeat over time. Wash, rinse, repeat. Much of Eastern Washington and the Columbia River gorge were formed by repeated outbursts. "Besides bones, jumbled up layers of loess are found". Loess looks like loess. How would you know that the layers of loess are jumbled up? The researchers look at the paleomagnetic signature of the loess and scratch their heads. The displays on social media about tusks, etc are boring and they are in the wrong century.
