Review:
The Agate Fossil Beds National Monument is one of the world’s richest Miocene Epoch sites for discovering fossilized mammals from 23 to 5.3 million years ago. The visitors center and museum showcase replicas of recovered Miocene species and collections of Lakota Indian artifacts. Visitors can walk two main trails from the visitors center.
The Daemonelix Trail, also known as Devil’s Corkscrew, leads guests through sand dunes and grassland to a lookout with a view of the high plains and the Rocky Mountains. The Fossil Hills Trail leads to the famous quarries where paleontologists discovered some of the world’s most complete fossilized skeletons.
