Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Fossil Butte National Monument is home to some of the best preserved fossils in the world within the flat-topped ridges of the cold sagebrush desert of southwest Wyoming. The fossilized mammals, birds, reptiles, insects, and fishes found at Fossil Butte are noted for their detail of preservation, variety, and abundance. The story these fossils tell of the ancient life within a subtropical landscape is perhaps the most remarkable aspect of the fossils at the site. Visitors can check out exhibits at the visitor center, attend Ranger programs, go for a hike or a scenic drive, have a picnic, and more.
