This puzzle is part 16 of Gladys' journey across the globe. Each part can be solved independently. Nevertheless, if you are new to the series, feel free to start at the beginning: Introducing Gladys.
Dear Puzzling,
Today I got a glimpse of what things may have looked like on Earth millions of years ago.
I'm debating whether I should give you a hint about today's puzzle or not. If it was anyone else I would try to point them into the right direction, but you, dear Puzzling, can probably work it out on your own. After all, I assume you have at least some interest in geography if you've followed my journey this far.
Wish you were here!
Love, Gladys.

2. Technically just outside Las Vegas / Chameleon or gecko

5. Inexpensive / Llama relative
6. Fossilized resin / Native American or South Asian
7. Brownish colour / Immigrants
8. Vagabond / Extreme stupidity
9. Riddermark / Very young child
10. Lanzhou's province / Worshipped at Delphi
11. Accepted in Greek and Irish shops / Light phenomenon
Gladys will return in "A burglar's sunglasses, a lady's odyssey".

Gladys is in
FOSSIL GROVE
The grid:
Loop of rope / Shakespeare's pentameter
LASSO / IAMBIC
Technically just outside Las Vegas / Chameleon or gecko
STRIP / LIZARD
Ground spice / E-book reader
CUMIN / KINDLE
String instrument / Time travel film
CELLO / LOOPER
Inexpensive / Llama relative
CHEAP / ALPACA
Fossilized resin / Native American or South Asian
AMBER / INDIAN
Brownish colour / Immigrants
KHAKI / ALIENS
Vagabond / Extreme stupidity
NOMAD / IDIOCY
Riddermark / Very young child
ROHAN / INFANT
Lanzhou's province / Worshipped at Delphi
GANSU / APOLLO
Accepted in Greek and Irish shops / Light phenomenon
EUROS / AURORA
The middles ...
are capital cities, if you take some letters from the left and right. So:
SOFIA, Bulgaria
TRIPOLI, Libya
MINSK, Belarus
OSLO, Norway
APIA, Samoa
BERLIN, Germany
KIGALI, Rwanda
MADRID, Spain
HANOI, Vietnam
SUVA, Fiji
ROSEAU, Dominica
