The Bighorn Basin of Wyoming
contains extensively documented
fossil deposits dating 542 million
years ago (Cambrian Period) to
the present.

World famous localities with:
- Dinosaur and marine reptile
bones
- Dinosaur eggshells
- Dinosaur tracks and trackways
- Primitive mammal fossils
Located on private land as well as state and federal land.

the few places in the world
where the fossil record, as
shown in the rocks, is
uninterrupted from the
demise of dinosaurs through
the early diversification of
mammals”Source: USDI Draft Environmental Impact Statement

20,000 to 25,000 years ago a variety of large mammals died and plummeted 85 feet into what is now called Natural Trap Cave. "It's a world-class paleontological Pleistocene deposit."
"Essentially it has the entire record of the Pleistocene up until 10,000, 12,000 years ago."

Each year, major fossil discoveries
are collected and removed from
this part of the Bighorn Basin!

preparation, storage and

are
NOT AVAILABLE!

These continuing research and educational activities are only loosely coordinated among entities.
Therefore
The rich natural resources of the area remains relatively unknown to the people of Wyoming and to the world.

Annual Attendance Projection
A first-class museum and interpretive center situated on U.S. Highway 14 near Shell, Wyoming, will draw an estimated 40,000 to 50,000 visitors annually, based on estimates of tourist traffic and
local visitations.
Other regional institutions annual attendance estimates:• Shell Falls Visitor Center 50,000 (est)• Buffalo Bill Historical Center 240,000 *• Wyoming Dinosaur Center 32,000 *• Devils Tower 450,000 *

An estimated 350,000 - 400,000 people travel over the Bighorn Mountain through Shell on highway 14 during the summer months
If just 15 % of those visitors stop at the museum, annual attendance could approach 50,000 visitors with annual income estimated at $250,000 to $300,000
