Creature Feature: Pteranodon!

These toothless, winged reptiles weren’t dinosaurs, but flying pterosaurs, close relatives in the Ornithodira group.

Just like whales and fish both have fins, Pteranodon and birds independently evolved the tools to master the skies.

📢 Heads up! Edelman Fossil Park & Museum will be closed tomorrow, May 15th, for an event. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! 🦖✨

Meet the Sabertooth Salmon!

Sharp fangs weren’t just for show—ancient predators like Enchodus used them to impale fast-moving prey. The sabertooth salmon used its own saber-like teeth to hunt in prehistoric seas. Fossilized teeth found in our quarry reveal the secrets of who ruled the ocean depths.
