Millions of years ago, Big Bend sat at the bottom of a shallow, warm sea, and fossils are still scattered throughout the entire National Park. Stop by the Fossil Discovery Exhibit to see some for yourself and to read about the prehistory of the Chisos Mountains. Bonus: the exhibit features abundant shade and comfy benches for a midday nap.
