@ChrisStringer65 For the non expert, are there other strands of reliable data that conflict with the Ruppia seed data or are the Ruppia data now to be taken as the definitive date of the White Sands footprints?

#DYK @WhiteSandsNps was established as a nat'l monument #OTD in 1933? It is known for the world's largest gypsum dunefield and human footprints discovered to be 21,000 to 23,000 years old. Read more about this amazing study:

#ICYMI: @USGS scientists & partners used new lines of evidence to confirm that human footprints 👣found in White Sands Nat’l Park show people lived in North America 21-23,000 yrs ago – much earlier than previously thought! https://t.co/yxffpocKRT

It was great to talk with @WeiPoints for this @nytimes piece on the new evidence that supports the 21,000-23,000 year age of the White Sands Footprints. Congratulations to @kathspringer and all the authors on their excellent work on this site!

Do the ancient human footprints at White Sands date back to the last ice age? https://t.co/gnn8oL89Ll

[USGS @USGS]
