John Day Fossil Beds

Mammals across 40 million years · Eocene to Miocene

Three units in eastern Oregon holding one of the most complete records anywhere of how mammals and climate changed together over forty million years, written in coloured ash layers. The Painted Hills are the famous view; the Thomas Condon centre has the fossils and a working lab behind glass. LOOK ONLY.
