Paleontologist John Moretti (left) and caver John Young after exploring Bender’s Cave, a Texas water cave that holds an abundance of Ice Age fossils. The fossils may date back to a warming interglacial period that occurred around 100,000 years ago. Fossils from this time period have not been found in Central Texas before.
