Fodor's Expert Review Big Pig Dig
Badlands National Park
Ruins
Until 2008, paleontologists dug for fossils at this site near the Conata Picnic Area. It was named for a large fossil originally thought to be of a prehistoric pig (it turned out to be a small, hornless rhinoceros). Wayside signs and exhibits, including a mural, provide context on the area and its fossils.
