Big Cedar Ridge Junior Explorer Activity Book

Seventy million years ago, a mudflow of volcanic ash suddenly entombed the entire landscape around Big Cedar Ridge in central Wyoming. The plants were fossilized where they were growing. With excavation, scientists can find the buried plants and learn what Big Cedar Ridge looked like when dinosaurs walked here. Finding fossils is fun, but the knowledge that can be gained from fossil discoveries can be even more thrilling. New discoveries expand our knowledge on the fascinating past of the Earth on which we live, giving us glimpses of a world very unlike the planet today. To become a paleontologist, stay especially focused in your math and science classes. Remember to stay curious!
