Visiting the Horns in Waco (June 20, 2019)

Fox, Otis, and Emma at Papa Rollo's pizza

Before dinner, Emma met us at the Mayborn Museum where we all practiced on spaceflight simulators.



In 1978, the first fossils of 26 mammoths were found near Waco.  The mammoths had attempted to save juveniles from a raging river by lifting them with their tusks.  But when the earthen river banks collapsed, the mammoths perished.  Fox and Otis rest atop copies of the fossils and watch a video about the mammoths.

The mammoths were 14 feet tall.
