About Lamb Spring:

In the outskirts of Littleton, Colorado where the Lamb Spring site was discovered by Mr. Charles Lamb in 1960 while digging a stock pond at the site of a natural spring.  He found several large bones that were identified by geologists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as the remains of mammoth, horse, camel and bison.  Dr. Waldo Wedel (Smithsonian Institution archeologist) and Dr. Glenn Scott (USGS geologist) then excavated the site in 1961 and 1962.  They found the bones of at least five mammoths, one of which was radiocarbon dated as slightly older than 13,000 years, suggesting that the animals visited the spring at the end of the last Ice Age.
