Hurricane Nicole unearthed 6 human skulls from a Florida beach, and it's the latest case of long-buried remains found after worsening weather

According to local news reports, parts of the east Florida coastline were eroded by Hurricane Nicole and a Native American burial ground was found.

Climate change strengthens storms, depletes bodies of water, and causes ice to melt, leading to the discovery of new skeletons.

Since record keeping began in 1854, only four hurricanes have made landfall in November. Climate change plays a role in Nicole's formation being so late in the season.

WPTV reported last week that beachgoers stumbled on six skulls and other bones on a nearby beach. The bones are thought to be 200 years old, according to local officials.

Insider did not get a response from the Martin County Sheriff's Office.

The bones are thought to have come from a Native American burial ground. Tina Osceola is a member of the Seminole tribe in Florida. We know that.

Hurricanes have found Indigenous remains before. According to WPTV, ancient Native American bones were found in the same area of the eastern Florida coast as a result of a weakened Hurricane.

In some cultures, including Indigenous tribes that lived in what is now known as Florida, ancestral remains are traditionally buried along the shore.

A growing body of research shows that storms are getting more intense because of warming waters caused by climate change.

According to a forensic anthropologist at the University of Nevada, human remains are going to be exposed because of erosion.

Multiple sets of human remains were brought back to life this summer in Nevada's Lake Mead, which supplies 25 million gallons of water a day.

The shrinking of bodies of water could be a boon for experts tasked with solving missing-persons cases, according to a previous interview. She said that a big body of water disappearing would help them.

Climate change is thought to be caused by human-caused climate change.

Global temperatures are warming and glaciers are retreating. The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command has recovered the remains of 52 service members who died when their military transport plane crashed into an Alaska mountain in 1952.

Gregory Berg, the forensic anthropologist who led the team, said that more material came up to the surface as the glacier melted.

The 1968 plane crash that had been frozen beneath snow and ice in the Swiss Alps has been discovered by melting glaciers.
