The first festival was held in their front yard that borders the park. The festival has since grown to become the premier green festival in our region. The year 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of Tandy Hills and the 5th annual Prairie Fest. Debora Young illustrated and published, The Wildflowers of Tandy Hills Natural Area in 2008. |

fossil remains of ancient creatures Derek Main Paleontologist, UTA Instructor in Earth Systems & Earth History Derek and other paleontologists have made the most important discovery to date at the Arlington Archosaur Site, a prolific fossil site in North Arlington, Texas. The disassembled skull of a crocodile with two and a half inch long teeth that lived nearly 100 million years ago has been unearthed. To date, more dinosaur fossils have been recovered from the Arlington Archosaur Site, where excavation began little more than a year ago, than from any other site in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The site lies within Cretaceous rocks, formed 95 million years ago when Arlington was the beachhead for a giant sea that divided the continent. |
