Step back in time and explore this geological treasure, located 15 minutes out of Carrot River.
The banks of the Carrot River feature walls of shale and shallow waters in late summer, into fall. It was here that 92 million-year-old Big Bert (prehistoric crocodile) was found!
Enjoy the sites and feel free to fossil search. If you find any, contact the Royal Saskatchewan Museum at https://royalsaskmuseum.ca/ or call 306-787-2815
