According to a Nevada paleontologist, the bones — believed to be the skeleton of a horse — were found in an area of soil that is at most 14,000 years old, dating back to Earth’s most recent ice age.
“It was an actual skeleton,” Nevada Science Center Director of Research Joshua Bonde told Las Vegas Review-Journal. “The bones were in the leg position attached to one another, which is actually really rare preservation for that area.”
