Fresh Tracks through Prehistory
Colorado railroads helped unearth many fossils as railroad tracks were laid.
Construction crews often exposed these unusual and fascinating bones as they
were digging and laying railroad ties. Trains were then used to transport
these 'stone bones' to museums around Colorado and throughout the U.S.
Make "Fresh Tracks through Prehistory" as children sift through sand in
search of fossils, keep dinosaur prizes as a memento of their dig, pan for
gold, paint dinosaur tracks and enjoy other dino-related activities.
Be greeted by multiple 12-foot-long Stegosaurus', whose distinctive tail
spikes make it one of the most recognizable dinosaurs. Meet the huge
45-foot-long sea monster, Tylosaurus, face-to-face.
Follow the dinosaur tracks around the Museum's 15-acre railyard and listen
to the adventurous stories of these prehistoric reptiles during our dinosaur
story time.
Dinosaur Express Train is in collaboration with the Morrison Natural History
Museum, Dinosaur Ridge and Triebold Paleontology.
Special admission pricing applies. Visit this link or www.crrm.org for more information.
