BOXED FOSSILS
Carrying teeth and claws from a
Megatherium, an Ice Age giant
ground sloth, a cave diver surfaces
after a dive to a site 12 to 14 m
deep in a remote cave section of
The Pit. The precious samples rest
in a plastic box with lead weights
attached to it to compensate for
buoyancy and will have to remain
immersed in water for recovery and
transport to the lab lest they turn
to dust.
