Removed outdated sentence[edit]

I removed the sentence about the Mammoth Site, Hot Springs, south Dakota, containing the largest number of mammoths because of recent finds in Mexico has likely have made it obsolete and rendered likely invalid. various news articles, including Remains of 60 mammoths found at new Santa Lucia airport in CDMX, Mazatalan Post, state that "at least 60" to six dozen mammoths have been found by the National Institute of Anthropology and History at the site of the the new Felipe Angeles International Airport. Given that 60 is a minimum number and is quite close to the number reported from the Hot Springs Mammoth Site, it is best to retire that sentence. Paul H. (talk) 01:15, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comment: I have found a source substantiating the note by another editor that at the site of the new Felipe Angeles International Airport in Mexico, the bones of hundreds of mammoths have been found in Pleistocene lake deposits. One article is Mexican construction site may be world's biggest mammoth graveyard Hundreds of mammoths attracted and trapped by lakebed 10,000 to 20,000 years ago by the Associated Press on September 4, 2020. Thus, the sentence about the Mammoth Site, Hot Springs, south Dakota, containing the largest number of individual fossil mammoths in the world has been rendered obsolete by the Mexican finds. Paul H.
