To the north lies Como Bluff, the Dinosaur Graveyard, one of the greatest and best known fossil beds of dinosaur remains in the world. There, paleontologists of the 19th century discovered and unearthed many excellent fossil specimens of the world's largest land creatures. Crews working for paleontologists at Yale University and the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences found a multitude of dinosaur and other prehistoric animal remains in the late 1870s and 1880s, making Como Bluff the site of one of the most important discoveries of Jurassic fossils in the world. Dinosaur fossils from this region, including Allosaurus, Stegosaurus, Camarasaurus, Diplodocus, and Apatosaurus, also known as Brontosaurus, did more than any other discoveries to make the public conscious of dinosaurs. Fierce competition between paleontologists and academic institutions resulted in what is now known as the Dinosaur Wars. In the late 1800s, hundreds of bones of dinosaurs and many other Jurassic animals, including some of the earliest known mammals, were unearthed and shipped from this area. They now reside in institutions such as the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale, the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, and the American Museum of Natural History. Fossil Cabin was constructed as a tourist attraction during the Lincoln Highway era, and Como Bluff and Fossil Cabin are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
