Ischigualasto and Talampaya Natural Parks

These two adjoining parks, ranging over 680,300 Acres in the desert area on the western border of the Sierra Pampeanas of central Argentina, hold the most comprehensive continental fossil record known from the Triassic Period (245-208 million years ago). Six geological arrangements in the parks encompass fossils of a wide range of ancestors of mammals, dinosaurs and plants exposing the evolution of vertebrates and the nature of palaeo-environments in the Triassic Period.
