The Fossils

Fossils in glass cases highlight the bone, plant, and footprint evidence from the Dinosaur Ridge area. Several large replica trackways of local dinosaurs, a crocodile, and several wading birds line the walls in full-size displays.

Kids love our indoor Trek Through Time Exhibit Hall!

Several hands-on Touch Carts in the Exhibit Hall also cater to kids’ desire to touch things, and prompt questions like, “What was this strange thumb used for?” Replica fossils including skulls, claws, teeth, horns, and tracks are meant to be touched and explored!

Thank you to the following individuals and entities for their help with the Trek Through Time Exhibit Hall:

Triebold Paleontology for the Pteranodon life restoration model and the Elasmosaurus skull replica! Triebold Paleontology operates out of the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center.
