Welcome Tomás

Nice to meet you Tomás!

To start your adventure:

  1. Look at the view of the Visitor Center, which is the building visitors first go to when they come to Florissant Fossil Beds.
  2. Get ready to time travel by using this *fictional* phone app called the "Time Machine" on our webpage, which will take you back 34 million years in the past.
  3. Make sure you're prepared for your adventure. Some general supplies you'll need are: a pen or pencil, notebook or paper, and other supplies will be listed on a few activities. Also, don't forget your imagination!

Now you look ready for an adventure!

Ready? Let's Go!

Eocene Florissant is very different compared to what we see today. Don't believe me? Then see for yourself. Let's travel back in time.
