Panorama of Painted Hills


Painted Hills - one of the seven wonders of Oregon. Millions of years of history revealed in the colorful layers. Each layers corresponding to different geological eras, formed when the area was an ancient river floodplain. It is also a famous archeological site with abundance of fossil remains of early horses, camels, and rhinoceroses. I was chatting with the park ranger and he told me that he was participating in an archeological activity in the park and he found the fossil of extinct canid with long teeth.
