The discovery of these magnificent fossils were made at the Fairmead landfill in Madera County, the site of one of the largest middle-Pleistocene fossil excavations in North America.

We feature fossils from the Middle-Pleistocene, 780,000 years ago. Mammoth, Smilodon, Sloth, Dire Wolf, Camel and Horse are just a few of the 15,000 fossils found at Fairmead with many more still being found.

We look forward to your future visit.
