Discover the best places in the United States to spot fossils, including dinosaur tracks and other ancient remains.
Into fossils? Taking a road trip across the country and looking for a side quest? Perhaps you’re just looking for an escape from modernity writ large. Well, these are the places for you. More than 320 dinosaur species have been named in the United States and most of the states have produced at least one dinosaur fossil, according to the National Parks Service. But there were also many other ancient denizens on the continent besides dinosaurs, the remains of which are well worth a visit.

Over 100 digs at the site have yielded millions of Pleistocene fossils, from massive mammoths to the little legs of Ice Age woodpeckers.
