Hi, Christian.

What seems more likely is that there was some sudden event which killed all those animals....
Although the tar does pose problems with dating the bones, they have nonetheless been dated -- the deaths span a 44,000 year range, so a single event can be ruled out.

I simply want people to agree with me that a sudden event is more likely if you only consider the ages of the bison babies, and that the scenario given at the museum doesn't adiquately explain what was found.
Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of only considering the ages of the bison. We have a wealth of other information that needs to be taken into account, such as the dating of the bones, the signs of scavenging of many of the remains, and the lack of good, unambiguous evidence of a catastrophe that would have cause so many deaths in such a short time.
