Fossil Cycad National Monument was a national monument in the U.S. state of South Dakota beginning in 1922. The site contained hundreds of fossils of the cycad-like bennettitalean plant Cycadeoidea, one of the world's greatest concentrations.[1] Because vandals stole or destroyed all of the visible fossils, it was withdrawn as a national monument in 1957.[2] It is located in northwestern Fall River County, on U.S. Route 18, northeast of the city of Edgemont.
