The Gray Fossil Site is a place where visitors can view and learn about an active prehistoric dig site. Scientists believe the site was formed by an underground limestone cave that collapsed and created a sinkhole. This left a vast fossil deposit that dates back approximately 5 million years ago. Animals that have been unearthed so far include saber-tooth cat, alligator, tapir, rhinoceros, short-faced bear, and a mastodon as well as hundreds of plants and other animals. Admission to the Gray Fossil Site is now part of your admission to Hands On! Discovery Center. Please see the listing for Hands On! Discovery Center for prices, hours, and other visitor information.
