Platygonus/Tortoise Site

Platygonus compressus
Flat Headed Peccary

This site is located in north central Kansas. Besides the two fossils shown below, this is one of three places that I know of in Smith County where volcanic ash can be seen in fairly large deposits. The ash at this site is called Reamsville volcanic ash.
