Fossil Butte National Monument

Fossil Butte National Monument preserves one of the world's most extraordinary fossil deposits, protecting the remarkably intact remains of an ancient freshwater lake that existed more than 50 million years ago in what is now southwestern Wyoming. Covering over 8,000 acres, the monument safeguards layers of the Green River Formation, where exceptionally preserved fossils of fish, reptiles, birds, insects, plants, and mammals provide an unparalleled window into life during the Eocene Epoch. The monument's rolling sagebrush hills, colorful sedimentary formations, and world-renowned paleontological resources make it one of the most significant fossil sites on Earth.

This vintage-inspired landscape edition captures the remarkable natural history and quiet beauty that define Fossil Butte National Monument. Designed in a modern WPA-inspired style, each print celebrates the monument's colorful badlands, expansive high-desert landscapes, and the ancient lakebed that continues to reveal one of Earth's richest fossil records. Whether you've explored its scenic trails, visited its world-class fossil exhibits, or simply appreciate the incredible story preserved within its stone, this piece honors one of America's most important paleontological treasures.
