Headlights streaking through Badlands National Park, South Dakota
July 22, 2016. Beneath the rugged beauty of Badlands’ buttes, pinnacles, and spires lies buried treasure: This is one of the richest fossil beds in the world. Scientists have uncovered the remains of saber-toothed cats, three-toed horses, and hornless rhinoceroses. We’ll leave the actual digging to paleontologists (as should you!), but we figure there are treasures of all kinds waiting to be discovered here at Badlands National Park.
