“Ashall Fossil Beds 7 miles.” I hit the brakes as the sign flashes by and turn north. The rolling, green hills hide a plethora of fossils, housed in an enormous building. In 1971, the skull of a juvenile rhinoceros was discovered in a cornfield. Imagine being the person who found that! Now the area is a Natural National Landmark, still being worked by University of Nebraska student interns as well as others. Skeletons of rhinos, horses, and camels have been discovered. Volcanic ash from a volcano in present-day Idaho caused lung failure in the animals who apparently gathered at the watering hole because of the heat and thirst. Some died with fetuses inside, others with the contents of their stomachs still intact.
These hills may contain more fossils as yet undiscovered.
This, that and the other thing
