Paleontology Excavation in a Canyon
A young paleontologist works near dinosaur bones exposed at an active excavation site within a natural canyon environment.
Scientific Discovery at Dinosaur Dig Sites
Paleontologists carefully remove layers of sedimentary rock inside canyons because water and wind erosion naturally expose ancient fossil layers. Finding fossilized dinosaur bones helps scientists determine what prehistoric earth looked like millions of years ago.
