Agate Fossil Beds

Dear B-,

Unfortunately, I have not had good Internet on this trip, so I have not been able to write as often as I would like. I have so many things to tell you about my trip.

For now, I will tell you that I went to Agate Fossil Beds National Monument in Nebraska today. There were fossils of different mammals from the Miocene era. I even saw an ancient camel fossil! This camel lived almost 20 million years ago. Did you know that the ancient camels were only two feet high from the ground all the way to the top of their shoulders?



I will try to write some more as soon as I can. By the way, thank you so much for telling me about the cacti and the bison. You told me some information I did not know!

Your teacher,

Elaina
