Big Bone Lick Pillows
Description: Just south of the Kentucky/Ohio border, in the North River Region of Kentucky, is a Big Bone Lick State Park. The inappropriate sounding name comes from a natural 'lick,' which is a place with salt in the ground where animals converge to literally lick the salt needed for their diets. The area has been being frequented by animals since at least the Pleistocene era, so mastodons and other prehistoric beasts came here to get salt and, instead, met their end. The soil of the lick is not just salty, but swampy, much like the La Brea Tar Pits of Southern California, except with mud instead of tar. European explorers stumbling upon the area in the mid 1700s were stunned by the massive bones they found protruding from the ground.
Description: This features a large silhouette of a bison filled with a retro stylized landscape. The landscape includes layered mountains in shades of orange and yellow, dark evergreen trees, and a blue sky with clouds. Below the bison, the text reads "Big Bone Lick STATE PARK" in white capital letters.
Description: A black background with a white chalk-like outline of the state of Kentucky. Inside the outline, a white star is placed near the top. The text "BIG BONE LICK STATE PARK" is prominently displayed in white capital letters. Below this, "3380 BEAVER ROAD" and "UNION, KY 41091-9627" are also in white capital letters.

Description: Big Bone Lick State Park, located in Kentucky’s North River Region, is a historic site known for its prehistoric fossils and natural salt lick. The park’s name originates from the salt-rich soil, which attracted animals for centuries, including mastodons and other Ice Age creatures. However, the swampy terrain led many to their demise, similar to California’s La Brea Tar Pits. European explorers in the mid-1700s were astonished by the massive bones protruding from the ground, marking the site as a key location for American vertebrate paleontology
