This horse from the desert DOES have a name–Equus Scotti 🐎 🏜️

This #IceAge #fossil horse from Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument lived during a time when Nevada was much cooler and wetter than it is now.

Did you know New Mexico had beach-front property 75 million years ago? 🏝️⛱️🌊

That’s right! This #rock from Chaco Culture National Historical Park contains ripples & a clam #fossil — it must have formed on a #beach!

What do #cats and #camels have in common? 🐱🐫

They both walked through the exact same spot 3 million years ago in what is now #DeathValley #NationalPark and left behind #fossil tracks 😮

On this #FossilFriday, we have a question - what do you get when you cross a tree & a fish? 🌳🐟 A “scale tree”, AKA a Lepidodendron!

Explore this Lepidodendron bark impression #fossil from #MammothCave #NationalPark at bit.ly/tree-fern-ma...

Teachers watch on as a geoscientist demonstrates how equipment is used to assess soil. A large group stands at the edge of a calm river near a highway underpass. A geoscience professional points out features of interest, like the stream gauge at the edge of the river. The people look at the rock layers within outcrop and takes samples from the bottom layer.
