Animal Kills
[edit]Pyroclastic flows likely did not extend more than 100 miles or so from the caldera, but ashfalls certainly did. The animals in Nebraska died over an interval of a week or two, as evidenced by bone changes and by carnivore action on the carcasses. The rhinos and others are judged to have died from massive inhalation of the ash, which first caused symptoms of silicosis and eventually simply smothered the animals in place. It also filled in their water hole to a depth of 10' of ash, and killed all the plant life. SkoreKeep (talk) 09:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
