Death Valley's 'secret' fossil canyon could finally be opened

to the public after being hidden for almost a century

1. Remote fossil hotbed covers an area of around five sq miles (12.9 sq km)

2. The area was closed to the public in 1940 to preserve the cache of tracks

3. The US National Park Service, which is celebrating its centennial year,

has been called on to open up the forbidden area to visitors
