Paleo Dig Site

In this Paleo Dig Site, Fossils have been hidden for you to discover! This is a chance for you to do what paleontologists do around Colorado and other places in the world.

If you look closely at the seemingly unremarkable rock, you’ll notice a large-foot projection from an Edmontosaurus. This is a species of hadrosaur, or duck-billed dinosaur, with short front legs and strong hind legs capable of walking erect or on all fours. They roamed in the Cretaceous period long before a lake existed in this area. The fern leaf (or frond) imprint next to the Edmontosaurus print is another example of the diverse fossils around here.
