Madera County, in partnership with the San Joaquin Valley Paleontology Foundation,  INVITE YOU to join our unique and exciting Fossil Discovery Center.  The discovery of these magnificent fossils were made at the Fairmead landfill in Madera County, the site of one of the largest middle-Pleistocene fossil excavations in North America.  These fossils are of particular significance for California and the western United States because there are few sites known from this time period, especially with so many species present.  Fossil Discovery Center is one of the best Madera County Museums. If your looking for fun places for kids, come check out our jaw dropping exhibits! We are more than a California fossil museum. 

We feature fossils from the Middle-Pleistocene (780,000 years ago.)
​Mammoth, Smilodon, Sloth, Dire Wolf, Camel and Horse
are just a few of the 15,000 fossils found at Fairmead. ​
