About Prehistoric Midwest

Prehistoric Midwest is a science communication project started by illustrator 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. This project is sorted into different sections 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. Over 1000 custom illustrations have been produced for this project, and more sections will be added to this website over time as the project continues to grow!
