we are here for nevada
As researchers and educators passionate about our careers in paleontology in the state of Nevada, we envisioned the Nevada Science Center fun, engaging science topics to communities across the state. As a new nonprofit, we are committed to create a community-based science center to share our love of the state and the natural sciences.

Spanning the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary, 65 million years ago, a large shallow lake in east central Nevada sat at almost 9,000 feet elevation.
