"EVOLUTION OF
A BASIN"
offers a
quick view of the geology of the Big Horn Basin. The
Basin is an ideal outdoor textbook for geological study.
Geologists come from around the world to study the area
because of the rock layers that are revealed at the
surface.
MAPS
AND CHARTS will guide you in an
overview of the Basin's geology. The hands-on
table will allow visitors to examine many of the
types of rocks found in the area.
FOSSILS,
EVIDENCE OF PLANTS and animals of earlier
times, are preserved by geologic processes. Some
of the fossils displayed are the life's work of
Richard Steiner, a local collector. Additional
specimens are on loan from the Wyoming State
Museum.
