South Dakota: Kadoka to Wall

back toward Murdo

Badlands Petrified Gardens, which opened in 1956, offers a yardful of petrified wood, displays of minerals which fluoresce under ultraviolet light, and a museum containing both fossilized fishes and fossilized feces (coprolites). It also sells rose quartz, geodes and some specimens of petrified wood by the pound.
