Little progress made in identifying bones found near Ruby Marshes

Monday, July 24, 2000 | 2:29 a.m.

The bones were found half buried in the frozen ground in December 1998.

They were excavated and sent to the Nevada Division of Investigation in Carson City for analysis and later shipped to a forensic anthropologist at Chico State University in California.

Investigators say preliminary findings appear to indicate the bones are extremely old.
