The Hunt for Sierra Smokys

Buried treasure and the thrill of the chase inspire Tahoe rockhounds to search for stunning quartz crystals

 Digging into Nevada’s Prehistoric Past

Throughout Nevada, excavators have found plants and mammals such as elephant types, mammoths, camels, rhinos, short-faced bears and horses from the Ice Age. Vertebrates and other marine fossils that existed during the age of the dinosaurs are also prevalent throughout Nevada. In Dixie Valley northeast of Fallon, an area Wheeler says is “rich with fossils,” brand new species yet to be identified have also been found. Fossils are known to exist in the Pilot Mountains as well, but they are not as intact as those found in other locations, likely due to the energy of the waves at this geographical point.
