Join Museum of the Earth as we journey back in time to visit the balmy Eocene lake shores of Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah.
Did you know that 50-million years ago during the Eocene period, areas of Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah were covered by vast lakes? In fact, the climate was warm and sub-tropical, much like Florida is today.
Now, the area's climate is vastly different; however, the world-renowned Green River Formation holds a snapshot of this Eocene landscape. Buried in ancient lake sediments are fossilized fish, insects, plants, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Fossils from the Green River Formation are exceptional for their abundance and detail of preservation.
Come Fishing for Fossils and reconnect with the fish of today by looking at the fish of yesterday!
