"If you fancy walking around 20-million-years-old plains, then come on over to Agate Fossil Beds. It was here that diggers found the remains of prehistoric creatures like the Dinohyus (a giant pig-like animal) and Stenomylus (a small gazelle-camel). They aren't dinosaurs, but the history is still interesting: When they were first found, they were thought to be the taproots of a giant ancient plant. You'll get to learn about this and more at the visitor center, which also features the James Cook Collection of Lakota and Red Cloud-related artifacts — which was realized thanks to the deep friendship fostered by the original owner of the ranch on which the fossils were founded, and Red Cloud, the Oglala Lakota chief. And finally, if you've never been to this part of the US, you might also appreciate the poetic stillness of the rolling prairie you'll drive through to get to this location. Explore a 20-million-year-old fossil site where paleontologists once discovered a rich trove of Miocene Era mammal (not dinosaur!) bones. After, you can hop over to the visitor center to see life-size depictions of extinct animals like the delicate Stenomylus, or the Beardog.  "
