ETSU Natural History Museum & Gray Fossil Site

The East Tennessee State University Natural History Museum & Gray Fossil Site was built after a large deposit of fossils was founds during a road construction project in Gray, Tennessee, in May 2000. Since then, scientists have determined that the site is from the Miocene epoch--about 5 million years old. Excavations have resulted in the discovery of a variety of animals, such as an alligator, camel, ground sloth, peccary, rhino, red panda, saber-tooth cat, short-face bear, shovel-tusked elephant, tapir and turtle.

This channel hosts video interviews with scientists on site, guests of the Museum, and special event presentations.
