Dinosaurs in Thornton? Why do Dinosaurs even matter? Colorado fossils tell a good story.

Construction workers uncovered dinosaur bones right here in Thornton in 2017. These fossils, and many others collected along the Front Range, give us a window into what has happened here for the last 150 Millon Years. Kermit Shields is a geologist and a volunteer at Dinosaur Ridge. He will discuss the geologic history of this area, talk about how the environment has changed and (of course) focus on the dinosaurs that lived in Colorado.

 

Stick around and check out some fossils that will be on display!
