This area was once a wetlands and home to ancient animals such as the mammoth, ground sloth, camel and bison, as well as native primitive peoples. Over 400 fossil surface sites have been discovered. This is the ONLY area in the Great Basin where scientists can track the history of climate change and two Ice Ages over a 200,000 year period. Also home to two endangered plants. http://tulespringslv.com https://www.facebook.com/TuleSpringsNPS

WASHINGTON — An ice age boneyard at the northern edge of the Las Vegas Valley is now one signature away from becoming Nevada’s newest federally recognized natural landmark. The Senate on Friday completed the work of Congress to create the Tule Springs Fossil Beds National Monument. Once the legislation is signed into law by President Barack Obama, the 22,650-acre tract prized for its trove of prehistoric relics will fall under the government’s preservation umbrella. - http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/senate-approves-new-national-monument-edge-las-vegas
