This is something totally unexpected. Ice age Fossils within driving distance of the strip. Not many have heard of this place, but it even has a street address. It is at 8660 N.Decatur Blvd. within the city limits of North Las Vegas. Learn about the history of this area that was, many years ago, a huge lake, almost a landlocked ocean. Plenty of bones can be viewed in a brand new museum that opened in 2023, just a few days before we wrote this story. How many good size cities in the U.S. are you able to visit that have fossil beds within the city limits. We did not check, but, since this is a gambling town, we would bet the answer is zero. http://www.nps.gov

We focus, laser like, on helping local artists. To that end we donate this valuable space. The artist of the month is an author; We feature three of his books. They are: Nevada a Strange State, Silveropolis, and The Great Lake Mead Water Caper. They can be purchased on Amazon. Any purchase will help a struggling writer. I have read all three of the books, and like them a lot.
