A wall was constructed around bone sink 2 to prevent any of the dirt from falling onto the narrow path through the area. Paintings were done on the wall representing some of the species that were found in the bone sinks. The one pictured is the Glyptodon. The glyptodon could get up to the size of a Volkswagen Bug (compact car). One area of the passage has beautiful deposits of flint in layers on the wall. At the end of the wall, a display case was built which houses a sample of bones that were found in the sink. The last photo is a location where the tusk of a mammoth was once located. Due to the fragile state of the bones, the tusk disintegrated to powder when an attempt to remove it occurred.
