A horse skull found in Gypsum Cave in mountains east of Las Vegas in 1930, was so well preserved, it was thought to be a modern horse or burro. It sat tucked away on a museum shelf overlooked until recently. It turned out to be 13,000 years old and scientifically significant: the most complete skull ever found of a “New World stilt-legged horse.” Eric Scott, an ice age horse expert at California State University, San Bernardino.
Jordyn Rivera, 21, of La Verne, California, is among the victims killed at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas. Rivera was a fourth-year student in the health care management program at California State University, San Bernardino. She was also a member of CSUSB’s chapter of Eta Sigma Gamma, the national health education honor society. Mike Schrader, a family friend, said, “The Rivera family is amazing, and I’m numb.”
