Fifty-two million years ago, subtropical forests stretched across what is now the United States, inhabited by a stunning array of animals ranging from miniature three-toed horses to fourteen-foot-long primitive crocodilians. These species died out long ago, but their remains are preserved in astonishing detail in a rich trove of fossils collected from the Fossil Lake site in present-day Wyoming. Visitors to the Bruce Museum in Greenwich will be able to encounter the now-vanished lake’s denizens in the exhibition Secrets of Fossil Lake, opening November 21, 2015.
