Berlin–Ichthyosaur State Park, State park with fossil remains in Nye County, United States.
Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park spans 1,540 acres across Nevada's Shoshone mountain range, featuring elevated terrain between 6,840 and 7,880 feet above sea level.
The Berlin Mine, established in 1896, produced 42,000 troy ounces of gold before operations ceased in 1911 due to decreasing profitability.
The preserved buildings of Berlin present structures from the 1890s mining era, including original homes, a blacksmith shop, and a machine shop.
The park maintains 14 camping units for vehicles up to 25 feet, equipped with fire rings, covered tables, and water facilities available from April through October.
The site contains North America's largest concentration of ichthyosaur fossils, with remains of 40 ancient marine reptiles protected within a dedicated shelter.
