Colorful John Day Fossil Beds National Monument - Kimberly, Oregon
From about 44 million years ago to 5 million years ago volcano eruptions covered the emerging central Oregon landscape with numerous layers of ash deposits, debris flows from lahars and protective basalt. This period roughly coincides with the Age of Mammals. The deposits not only buried the land but also countless animals and their landscape surroundings.
Although much has been lost to erosion over time, basalt caps in some area created a nearly complete fossil record of this period. John Day Fossil Beds National Monument was created to protect several of these areas. Extensive scientific research is conducted here, one of the richest fossil beds in the world.
Most of the fossil beds are off-limits to casual visitors. But the ash deposits and debris flows also created colorful clay outcroppings. The park features several generally shorter hiking trails that showcase the colorful landscape, although some offer hints of the area's fossils.
To learn more about the fossils and to see more examples, include a stop at the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center in the Sheep Rock Unit, one of three units that make up John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is a U.S. National Monument in Wheeler and Grant counties in east-central Oregon. Located within the John Day River basin and managed by the National Park Service, the park is known for its well-preserved layers of fossil plants and mammals that lived in the region between the late Eocene, about 45 million years ago, and the late Miocene, about 5 million years ago. The monument consists of three geographically separate units: Sheep Rock, Painted Hills, and Clarno.
The units cover a total of 13,944 acres (5,643 ha) of semi-desert shrublands, riparian zones, and colorful badlands. About 210,000 people frequented the park in 2016 to engage in outdoor recreation or to visit the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center or the James Cant Ranch Historic District.
Before the arrival of Euro-Americans in the 19th century, the John Day basin was frequented by Sahaptin people who hunted, fished, and gathered roots and berries in the region. After road-building made the valley more accessible, settlers established farms, ranches, and a few small towns along the river and its tributaries. Paleontologists have been unearthing and studying the fossils in the region since 1864, when Thomas Condon, a missionary and amateur geologist, recognized their importance and made them known globally. Parts of the basin became a National Monument in 1975.
Averaging about 2,200 feet (670 m) in elevation, the monument has a dry climate with temperatures that vary from summer highs of about 90 °F (32 °C) to winter lows below freezing. The monument has more than 80 soil types that support a wide variety of flora, ranging from willow trees near the river to grasses on alluvial fans to cactus among rocks at higher elevations. Fauna include more than 50 species of resident and migratory birds. Large mammals like elk and smaller animals such as raccoons, coyotes, and voles frequent these units, which are also populated by a wide variety of reptiles, fish, butterflies, and other creatures adapted to particular niches of a mountainous semi-desert terrain.
