There should be some reference in this article to the Kimmswick Bone Bed aka Mastodon State Historic Site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_State_Historic_Site https://mostateparks.com/page/54983/historic-site-history . Among other things, it was the location where it was proved that the Clovis Culture hunted Mastodons. Also not so sure about the Big Bone River stuff. 2600:6C40:4300:4C8:21C:C0FF:FE29:32A0 (talk) 00:14, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
