The Green River Formation in SW Wyoming has
been excavated for 150 years for the wealth of well preserved fossils
found here. During the early Eocene, 50 million years ago, the area had a
sub-tropical climate with palm trees, early mammals, and lakes that
supported a diverse population of fishes, crayfish and stingrays. Several
species of birds inhabited the skies, feeding on the multitudes of
insects.
