Only intact Ichthyosaur skeleton in the United States
Category Natural Wonders, Watery Wonders
A giant concrete Ichthyosaur beckons you to explore the park.
Source www.whitetrashart.comSouth of tiny Austin, Nevada, in desolate Nye county lies Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park. This area proudly displays the one and only complete skeleton of an Ichthyosaur in the United States. All 55 feet of the fossilized remains of the prehistoric dolphin-like reptile are exposed on a giant billboard display.
Also inside of the State Park, find the ghost town of Ione. Ione continues to draw visitors, even though there isn't much left to see here: People have stripped the town attractions down to everything but the mine shafts.
The Diana Mine in Ione is a popular attraction as, patrolled by State Park rangers with some regularity, it is considered to be safe and probably doesn't house any squatters.
