Good forFamiliesHistory buffs
A Tennessee Department of Transportation geologist noticed unusual geology during road construction in 2000, and the excavation that followed turned out to preserve an early Pliocene Lagerstätte — a window into a world five million years ago. The Gray Fossil Site, run by East Tennessee State University, opened a museum here in 2007. Active research happens daily; paleontologists are still pulling things out of the ground. You can watch them do it.
