Ice Age Fossils State Park

Ice Age Fossils

State Park - Nevada

Ice Age Fossils State Park is located in North Las Vegas, Nevada. It is located adjacent to the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument near Willie McCool Regional Park. The park is located on land that was wetlands during the last Ice Age of Prehistoric Nevada between roughly 100,000 to 11,700 years ago. It is the site of excavations of fossils from animals that called this area home, such as Columbian mammoths, American lions, dire wolves, saber-toothed cats, ancient bison, camels, ground sloths, horses, and llamas. These animals and more have been found during the 1962–1963 "Big Dig" excavation and over the 120 year history of scientific exploration in the area.
