...remains the sabertooth. Stretching more than six feet from fangs to tail, the Nashville cat is one of the largest ever found. It is also remarkably well preserved; 70% of the animal's bones were recovered, most of them clustered together. Most intriguing of all is their age. Carbon 14 dating, arranged by Paleontologist John Guilday of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum, suggests that the remains of the Nashville sabertooth are a mere 9,500 years old. That indicates not only that sabertooths lived several thousand years longer than generally believed, but that they may well have coexisted with...

When the hatch was opened, the fears were confirmed: both Link and Stover had died of carbon dioxide poisoning. Heartbroken by the loss, the elder Link nonetheless vowed to continue his oceanographic work. "We're not going to stop," he said. "This [tragedy] shows the magnitude of the problem and the challenge...
