Picture of Roberto Chávez Arce--a diver and co-director of the project researching Hoyo Negro--near large Gomphothere bones (limbs and perhaps a pelvis?). Behind Roberto, it is pitch black. He and the immediate surroundings in front of him are illuminated by artificial light brought underground and underwater by other divers. Wording in white across the bottom of the picture reads: "Roberto and Gomphothere in Hoyo Negro. Image by Alberto Nava".
#Gomphothere fossils in Hoyo Negro, an enormous pit in one of the Yucatán's underground, underwater cave systems, providing evidence that these large mammals once roamed the caves when they were dry. #FossilFriday
