Thanks Catherine!
At our last California Islands Symposium in Ventura facts were presented that
added to the over-all mystery about evolving mammoths on our Channel Islands (
and on Santa Rosea during the last Ice Age ). Scientist confirmed that the
giant Columbian Mammoths had thousands of years of coexistence with the Pigmy
Mammoths on the islands. Since no Pigmy Mammoths remains have ever been found
on the mainland, they surmised that the larger Columbian Mammoths may have swam
out there from the mainland at various low ocean Ice Ages, to evolve into Pigmy
Mammoths more than once?? The remains of Mammoths go back over 200,000 years on
the islands ( island? ), all the way up to 11,000 years ago. This Mr. or Ms.
“Inbetween” is 13,000 yrs old. Paul

First of two articles in the Ventura County Star Newspsper: this one is
about the Columbian mammoth skull found on Santa Rosa Island in 2014. The
next one I will post is the recent finding that brown boobies are nesting at
Santa Barbara Island.
