Tips from the community
Big Bend National Park is the only national park where the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary (i.e., when the dinosaurs went extinct) can be seen in the exposed rock. As a result, it has an impressive collection of dinosaur bones, including the Quetzalcoatlus northropi, the largest flying animal that ever existed. Head to the Fossil Discovery Exhibit to learn more about the park’s fossils.
