From a birds eye perspective, the seemingly

barren landscape that visually defines the Badlands,

is in reality, a rich deposit of prehistoric treasure.

The Badlands are characterized by their steep slopes

made of soft sedimentary rocks, and clay-rich soil,

that has been eroded over millions of years

In short, a location such as the one we are exploring today,

They're taking the crew and I to a top secret dig location

where they have been finding and excavating fossils

from the Paleogene period, which dates back

Sounds ancient, yet this period is not old enough

for us to be finding the fossils of dinosaurs.

So, while we won't be digging up a T-Rex quite yet,

keyword yet, we do stand the chance of happening upon

ancient mammals and prehistoric reptiles.

an incredible journey, and this is the point

Now, it appears as if we may have landed on the moon,

or in this case, traveled back in time 35 million years.

- And, here is where we first see, really,

the mammals where you can really identify 'em.

You can say, this is a horse, this is a camel,

this is a saber-tooth cat, this is a giant pig,

this is a turtle, this is a fossil snake.

So, we're gonna find some really cool stuff today.

we scanned our surroundings, hoping to catch

the off-white gleam of anything that stood out

Fossilized bone that is exposed from the substrate

is much easier to detect than one would think.

you happen upon the remains of an ancient creature.

It's a Raptor foot Pete, is this a new species?

- [Pete] I believe it's a described species.

- [Pete] So, that's a little antelope, (mumbling)

- [Pete] A little American antelope, which is not a--

But, this is cool Pete, I think we should look at this.

Right here you've got, you may have to film it

from this side guys, this is the foot of a bird.

but this is how a fossil could ultimately form.

You've got the skeleton that's come down this slope.

- It's probably a songbird, I'm gonna guess Meadowlark.
