| "Fifteen thousand years ago, when ice sheets extended to the other side of the Ohio River, giant mastodons, woolly mammoths, and ground sloths gathered around warm salt springs near today's town of Union. Big Bone Lick State Park exhibits some of the fossilized bones in its museum, while this outdoor display shows how the animals became trapped (and preserved) in the area's 'jelly' soil."
-page 109 "Although Red River Gorge Geological Area protects rock arches and natural shelters, on this winter say trees frosted with snow and ice grab the spotlight."
