Via John Day Fossil Beds National Park:
The rugged and remote landscape of John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is both fascinating and awe-inspiring. As you admire the colorful layers of volcanic clay on the Sheep Rock Cam, imagine what ancient wonders lay hidden there, encased in a tomb of hardened ash for millions of years.
Fortunately, you don't have to rely entirely on your imagination! Our Paleo Lab Cam, the only one of its kind in the National Park Service, gives you a backstage glimpse of real scientists at work! You'll be able to watch, in real time, as our paleontologists meticulously prepare recently discovered fossils for study and public display.
