Life on the Prairie, Prairie Geology - Fort Worth

 The Great Plains are located on the westernmost portion of the vast North American Interior Plains.

They were covered by a shallow inland sea called the Western Interior Seaway. However, the seaway had begun to recede; leaving behind thick  marine deposits and a relatively flat terrain where the seaway had once flowed.

We will see how this set the stage for what became the Nature Center.
