South Dakota is a landlocked state in the North Central region of the United States. It is also part of the Great Plains. South Dakota is named after the Dakota Sioux tribe,which comprises a large portion of the population —with nine reservations currently in the state —and has historically dominated the territory. South Dakota is the 17th-largest by area,but the fifth-least populous,and the fifth-least densely populated of the 50 United States. Pierre is the state capital,and Sioux Falls,with a population of about 213,900,is South Dakota's most populous city. The state is bisected by the Missouri River,dividing South Dakota into two geographically and socially distinct halves,known to residents as "East River" and "West River". South Dakota is bordered by North Dakota to the north,Minnesota to the east,Iowa to the southeast,Nebraska to the south,Wyoming to the west,and Montana to the northwest.

Paleontology in South Dakota refers to paleontological research occurring within or conducted by people from the U.S. state of South Dakota. South Dakota is an excellent source of fossils as finds have been widespread throughout the state. During the early Paleozoic era South Dakota was submerged by a shallow sea that would come to be home to creatures like brachiopods,cephalopods,corals,and ostracoderms. Local sea levels rose and fall during the Carboniferous and the sea left completely during the Permian. During the Triassic,the state became a coastal plain,but by the Jurassic it was under a sea where ammonites lived. Cretaceous South Dakota was also covered by a sea that was home to mosasaurs. The sea remained in place after the start of the Cenozoic before giving way to a terrestrial mammal fauna including the camel Poebrotherium,three-toed horses,rhinoceroses,saber-toothed cat,and titanotheres. During the Ice Age glaciers entered the state,which was home to mammoths and mastodons. Local Native Americans interpreted fossils as the remains of the water monster Unktehi and used bits of Baculites shells in magic rituals to summon buffalo herds. Local fossils came to the attention of formally trained scientists with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The Cretaceous horned dinosaur Triceratops horridus is the South Dakota state fossil.
