The mammoth could have been driven into the soft alluvium of the Domebo Canyon where it may have become exhausted or stuck in the sediment, which would have allowed for an easier kill. The Domebo site is significant as it shows that the Clovis point-mammoth bone association extends to the eastern margin of the southern Great Plains .
The Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) is an extinct species of mammoth that inhabited North America from southern Canada to Costa Rica during the Pleistocene epoch. The Columbian mammoth descended from Eurasian steppe mammoths that colonised North America during the Early Pleistocene around 1.5–1.3 million years ago, and later experienced hybridisation with the woolly mammoth lineage.
However, woolly mammoths were considerably smaller, only about as large as modern African bush elephants with males around 2.80–3.15 m (9 ft 2.2 in – 10 ft 4.0 in) high at the shoulder, and 4.5–6 tonnes (9,900–13,200 lb) in weight on average, [30] with the largest recorded individuals being around 3.5 m (11.5 ft) tall and 8.2 tonnes ...

One group of mammoths, however, survived for another 5,000 years on St. Paul Island, a remote island off the coast of Alaska. As the Earth warmed up after the Ice Age, sea levels rose.
An amateur fossil hunter has uncovered a 7 ft-long, fully intact mammoth tusk in a creek near a Mississippi river stream, a world-first discovery that sheds more light on the region’s ecology ...
The newspaper stated that it was large-sized, weighed over 4 lb (1.8 kg), and was dug up some 30 ft (9.1 m) to 40 ft (12 m) underground from a river bank or hill. It also reported that they uncovered a femur (reported as a "thigh bone") and another flat, broad tooth with a length equivalent to four fingers of a human, but both crumbled shortly ...
The tusk, which could be anywhere from 11,700 to 75,000 years old, was found partially exposed from the mud bank. - Courtesy Eddie Templeton
