Just about the last thing we did in South Dakota was visit Badlands National Park. The geology is cool...we just love the striated bands.
They had a fossil walk and most of the fossils were from the Ogliocene Epoch. So, they were early mammals--some predecessors of common species like horses and pigs and dogs...and some weird little aunts and uncles on the family tree that died out. I realized that dinosaurs soak up all the attention (well, they were huge and fairly fascinating) and I don't know much about these species.
I think I'd like to change all that.
