Ashfalls
Ashfall State Historical Park southeast of Lynch holds hundreds of prehistoric animal skeletal remains. Rhinos, three-toed horses, camels and other animals were buried around the edges of a watering hole over 10 million years ago by volcanic ash. These well-preserved skeletons of prehistoric beasts laid undisturbed, wrapped in a blanket of jagged glassy particles until the 1970s when scientific study of the remains began. Visitors can experience firsthand the process of unearthing these ancient treasures in the Rhino Barn.
