History of Gray Fossil Site

Arial view of Gray Fossil Site in 2000

  In May of 2004, they were about to make a highway near the city of Gray, Tennessee.  When they  got out there, they started digging. By the law of the state of Tennessee there must be an  archeologist on the site of the place where they build stuff. So after they started digging they found a rhino bone. Thus, the Gray Fossil Site was born. and the highway wasn't.

          Later they found many, many more skeletons. The skeletons include a tapir, an alligator, a  red panda, and lots of other cool bones. Enough bones to even open a museum. So they did. Right  now there are lots of people working at the site. They are working hard to find fossils.
