Pleistocene Palooza - National Fossil Day
Special Event
Discover what remains of Ice Age Las Vegas! This free annual outdoor event is for fossil enthusiasts of all ages. Together with our community partners, we celebrate the science behind what we know about the past and present.
The Pleistocene (Ply-sto-seen) is a name for a time, not long ago, when Earth experienced glacial and interglacial periods. Pleistocene fossils at Tule Springs Fossil Beds are between 100,000-12,500 years old.
