About Prehistoric Midwest

Prehistoric Midwest is a science communication project started by Corbin Rainbolt as a source of information about the types of ancient life and fossils which can be found in the region spanning from Ohio to North Dakota. Our website hosts guidebooks focused on specific formations or moments in geologic time, detailing the types of animals found in these ancient rock layers as well as the landscapes these prehistoric organisms would have called home. We have produced over 1000 custom illustrations for this project, many of which are intended to be released under Creative Commons/Attribution licenses for use in other projects centered around the distant past.
