Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park

About Ashfall Fossil Beds State Historical Park

Volcanic ash buried a waterhole here twelve million years ago and preserved whole herds where they fell; palaeontologists still work the Rhino Barn in front of visitors. A mile-long interpretive trail crosses the 360-acre park above.
