Ice Age Giants of the South Overview

Ice Age Giants of the South by Judy Cutchins and Ginny Johnston is the first in the three volume Southern Fossil Discoveries series.

Saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, mammoths, mastodons and giant sloths are just a few of the large animals that lived during the Ice Ages which began 1.8 million years ago. Ten thousand years ago, when a warming trend brought the last Ice Age to an end, these extraordinary animals became extinct. Fossils are the only clues to their lives and habitats.

The southern United States is one of the best places in the world to find Ice Age fossils. Fossilized teeth and bones are found in a variety of locations. Some are found by divers searching river bottoms or water-filled caves. Many are discovered accidentally by people digging to make way for new roads or working in rock quarries. Wherever fossils are found, scientists from museums and universities study them to learn more about what Ice Age life was like.

Filled with color photos and illustrations, Ice Age Giants of the South describes some of the most important fossil discoveries from South Carolina to Texas. Readers learn how paleontologists use fossil clues to develop theories about prehistoric animals and their habitats.
