(FOX NEWS) – A recent excavation in Texas yielded some
"colossal creatures," according to local officials – and
archaeologists are hopeful more will be uncovered soon.

The Texas Department of Transportation announced the
discovery in a recent press release. In a statement, officials
said the excavation took place in Lubbock during the
environmental review for Loop 88, a proposed state
highway.

During the archaeological survey, diggers uncovered
ancient bones dating back to prehistoric times. The
remains belonged to megafauna, which are large
mammals.

The discovery could be ‘first of its kind’ if evidence of
human activity with Ice Age animals is confirmed.
