As You ExploreIndiana Caverns
Animals, including
Flat-headed peccaries,
Pleistoscene black bears,
bison, fishers, porcupine, owls, snakes, and many
others, entered what is today Indiana Caverns
approximately 40,000 years ago during the last Ice Age.
After the Ice Age entrance closed, 12,000+ years ago,
the cave remained untouched until 2010.
Explorers discovered thousands of bones exposed
on the cave surface that have been preserved by
unchanging conditions for millennia. The significance
of these fossils, which include not only bones but bear
beds, claw marks and rare peccary tracks, has been
verified by independent paleontologists.
You will see these long hidden relics on your tour. Our first
scientific excavation, lead by staff from the Indiana State
Museum, took place in October 2014.
