Paleontology Laboratory Open House
Open House: Anza-Borrego Desert State Park® Paleontology Laboratory Tours Seven Million Years of Fossil History. At the Stout Research Center Paleontology Laboratory, visitors will see the actual fossils we have collected and are preparing – from tiny bones seen under a microscope to a giant skull. Watch how we prepare these fossils. We are currently working on a Mammoth, Giant Tortoise, Camels, Horses and more. Explore Anza-Borrego Desert’s seven million year collection with a guided tour through our repository, and feel free to ask our paleontologist any questions you have about our fossil history. Tours meet at the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center for a short, guided walk to the Stout Research Center. The Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Visitor Center is at the end of Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs, CA. The event is free and open to visitors of all ages.
