The Richmond Fossil Park in Richmond, Indiana is a clear proof of the rich geological history of the city that could be traced back to 440 million years ago. The “Richmondian Age” is era where rock formations accumulated on the bottom of an ancient sea. Traces of this “Richmondian Age” could be seen at the Richmond Fossil Park.
Richmond Fossil Park is a small park. So small it is that there is no proper parking space for visitors. If you intend to visit, there is a small clearing along the road that you can use to park your vehicle. It can only accommodate 2 or 3 cars!
