Comb through the mysteries of Comb Ridge, Utah

66 52

Scientists have combed through the mysteries offered by this ridge for long. This is an aerial image of the linear north-south ridge in South-Eastern Utah. First mapped in the late 19th century, the ridge is home to numerous Puebloan cliff dwellings and petroglyphs. It is a National Natural landmark and home to the only fossils of a mammal-sized cynodonts (tritylodont) in North America!
