- Join us as we explore the wonderful rocks at Badlands National Park. These rocks show 75 million years of Earth history and the tectonic movements along the way. There are marine, near shore, and terrestrial deposits … and the fossils to prove it.

Thank you so much for this spectacular presentation! My great grandpa was born at Prairie Center, in 1888, but he moved to Washington by 1910, which is where I was born. I've always wanted to explore SW South Dakota. This is the best video I've found explaining the area. ❤
Interesting, informative, and concise. Thank you for the research and upload!
Outstanding presentation! I happily subscribed to your channel during the watching of this video.
Great presentation, well done!
Great quality! Very professionally made!
I’ve been to BLNP several times. Great place for camping, hiking, and beautiful sightseeing.
We were only there for the day but I can't wait to go back
Another fantastic video by UTD GeoNews! Thank you so much.
Awesome video. Very educational, helpful, and concise. I'm excited to visit, thank you for this!
I think it’s beautiful! I hope to visit it someday. 😮😮
I really enjoyed this video. My family went to the badlands before the park was created and they've always fascinated me.
We just got back from the Badlands and we had to know more about the geology. We found a turtle fossile there. I am excited to have found your video. It was really interesting and helpful.
really great presentation!
I love Badlands National Park. Thank you for this video.
The discussion of fossils found there reminds me of some of the fossils found at the Gray Fossil Site in Gray, Tennessee.
Nice job! You put together a fascinating story.
This is a wonderful video that shows some of the fascinating geology behind this great place. However, a couple of bad place-name pronunciations are distracting. In South Dakota, the name Pierre (the state capital) is pronounced with one syllable ("peer"), and Chadron with a soft sh, like Chicago. Pronouncing them wrong in the park might get you funny looks!
As someone living in Oregon, this is really helpful for me to understand the Badlands, and the context of the fossils found there. Well done!!!
(I think Oregon has a similar fossil environment: the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Day_Fossil_Beds_National_Monument
