The giant sand pit where the remains of a mammoth and saber-toothed tiger were once discovered may soon be filled with much more modern artifacts.

There are plans to throw in a bus, a couple antique fire trucks and even a space shuttle lookalike that once thrilled visitors at the now defunct Astroworld amusement park in Houston.

Why the random collection?

Developers are hoping the items and many others — including an old F-5 Navy jet already in the 50-acre pit — will help create one of the nation’s largest lakes reserved for scuba divers seeking to explore large objects.
