The Arlington Archosaur Site has expanded our knowledge of a rare, ancient ecosystem largely unknown in North America. Amateur fossil hunters and citizen scientists have played an integral role in methodically excavating what appeared only to be a drab, run-of-the-mill hillside.
As it turns out, that hillside contained one of the most diverse, well-preserved, and numerous fossil accumulations yet discovered in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex.
Join us at the Fielder Museum on Saturday, November 16th at 2:00 PM for a special presentation/Q&A with Art Sahlstein who, along with his then seven-year-old daughter Olivia, discovered the Arlington Archosaur Site one morning in 2003.
Experience a rare window into what life was like on land in eastern North America in the late Cretaceous period some 98 million years ago. See our fossil displays and learn about The Seashores of Ancient Arlington!
