Once a prehistoric ocean,

Badlands National Park now contains one of the world’s richest fossil beds, preserved in layers of a grayish-black sedimentary rock called Pierre shale. Eventually the continental plates shifted, causing the land under the sea to rise and the water to retreat. Today, the colorful banding of the Badlands buttes is caused by fossilized soils; these soils tell researchers a great deal about the history of the Badlands.
