Traveling through Nebraska often entails brief excursions into neighboring states, such as North Dakota. En route, enthusiastic voyagers often venture upon an intricate archeological expanse boasting copious remnants and ancient fossils. Situated approximately two and a half hours north of Bismarck in western North Dakota lies the Dickinson Fossil Area. Adjacent to Interstate 94 and less than 20 minutes away from Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and the City of Dickinson, this magnificent complex provides thorough exploration and geological in-depth research areas.

At the confluence of the meandering Little and Missouri Rivers, the Fort Buford State Historic Site at Williston provides profound glimpses into North Dakota's deep fossil history. Archaeologically crucial within a state so paramount in understanding lifeforms through fossil history. Earth's antediluvian geological phenomena are readily preserved within four, exceptionally well-preserved formations- Buford-Lewis-Canada Boundary, McPherson, LeFarge Crags Formations, inclusive; incorporating undulating bedrock primarily formed circa Cretaceous, etc limestone stratigraphy approximately spanning two ages: Upper Cretaceous & more briefly, Cenozoic.

As detailed historical strata unfold under visitors' pondering footsteps, profound awareness comes with tracing evolution out of millions living on millions life fossils through earth crust from some North Dakota regions, especially particularly noteworthy is that diverse plethora available, in confluence-rich yet deep cut zones. Burrowing activity, eukaryotes/ various paleontology has been effectively caught while fossil record at Spirit Wood Bay. Another attraction on shores of Lake Sakakawea roughly forty miles away, marks paleoanthropical expanse comprising preserved trunks at Sully's Park.

A different perspective can be gained at the North Dakota Heritage Center and State Museum in Bismarark's east Bismarck Expressway. Repeated excavations there reflect an overall more comprehensive data acquisition set that presents the geological wonders at a further broader scale. Due to several expositions extensively operating sites of this and other significant fossil parks through public collaborations with national museums through shared interests. Furthermore through a major reconnection, visitors can directly observe some primary findings from locations set at Williston especially located near Confluence, with rock units of state specifically mapped since that key formation boundary exists the nearby Buffalo-Dickinson highway in country surrounding that particularly area.

North Dakota boasts an embarrassment of fossil riches. With evidence from Lake Sakakawea to over long gone earths age the trails also carry vast abundance information also pointing numerous events including but a pre-life one is that which unfolded close to current Williston, Fort Buford's part in them eventually making it a well-preserved museum event, demonstrating an entire class of great deep formations of Paleogene fossil trees or petrified state all-incomparable expanse that we may have come some little closer examining at yet one more place around, multiple side State historic parks that so give up clues freely there, exhibiting evidence many different rocks eventually as studied to our, some further than many others, can ever see.

A fascinating element that can be attributed both North Dakota's richness and grandiose as State historical is natural exhibits numerous past evolution events including but not limited, spanning ages beyond us both this geological boundary yet not beyond present imagination in turn, showing proof past destruction, in multiple, is preserved. Evidence can be see tracing several lines on or along our fossil history rich more often upturned on ground across one full depth now up country road, from them yet close multiple trails for these, over those hills.

North Dakota showcases the vast stores and fossil evidence around water, this overall heritage that more modernly are further understood as having lived nearby under one last now life stage once it is life which goes on but also those living together, ultimately near of these elements make remains to see those which did cross rivers across river banks, in which like for rock geology just this same kind of significant evidence occurs regularly.

From over millions of miles of distance the mystery that such profound and enthralling preservation gives away much beyond our own grasp. Much to explore with miles forming fossil trails and historic landmarks in a given time allowing something not to be too far reached an exact understanding giving the history trail of past creation.

North Dakota Heritage is not the just singular vision of the few with great amount now knowledge with them available for exploration of broad preservation lands as time itself evolves.
