Wasn't all the fresh water was frozen except in the tropics? and all the fishes had to live in the salt except those man eaters in the Amazon?

     The last ice age lasted 50,000 years. nothing froze instantly at once and highly doubt it froze instantly to the bottom of the deepest waters. 50,000 years is a long-time letting animals and fish and mammals evolve to conditions. I would say there was some fish in the early in each ice age would be able to be targeted. There were five significant ice ages. First one started 2.4 billion years ago.

 I sometimes thirst for knowledge. This discussion gone awary got me to thinking so I gave myself a refresher course on the ice ages.  Even looked up the megafauna that was running around during the last one. Man showed up and crossed over in the latter parts of the last ice age. I have a Scottsbluff point that we found. It dates back when there were giant bison still roaming. A minute chance one of the mastodons or mammoth could of still been around. They died out about 11,000 years ago. Scottsbluff points date 9,000 to 11,000 years ago. Amazing stuff. If I remember I might bring along some of our older points to Taney fest. I have done a good job reproducing that point and others. Pretty rusty right now and if I Knapp for you all there I had better brush up on that hobby.

That would be cool if you could bring that Scottsbluff point.

There are a bunch of people who'll be there that would like that a lot.  Knapping and history, that would make for a good couple of hours out on the porch.

That would be neat, have Marty show us some points, explain the history behind them and show us some knapping.

Too much history and I will be napping.

Here's one for you to read.  I'm tempted to buy a copy, but a little concerned it may be a little on the dry and academic side.
