Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument is an outdoor laboratory for learning and discovery. Science is a way of knowing about the Earth. Using specialized training and knowledge, scientists ask questions, make observations, and interpret findings about the world around us. We look for patterns, change, or stability. With that understanding, we can connect the past, present, and future. We can effect change and protect our natural heritage.
