1 The “Big Bone Lick”, Kentucky, and others of a similar kind were well known to the early geologists by the discovery of abundance of remains of the Mastodon and other extinct mammals who came down to lick the salt in prehistoric times. Many arrow-heads of stone have been found, showing that the Indians also frequented these salines, probably to shoot big game which came there for salt as well as themselves.
