Ramo Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Took a little time off work today and hiked up Dinosaur Ridge west of Denver. Got to see some ripple-marks, dino tracks, and even some dino bone. Thought I'd share some pictures. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 A day off...<sigh> Thanks for the pictures Are those maybe sauropod tracks in the ripple pic? And the last shot, is that the mother of all pseudofossils?

Ramo Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 That lst shot is actually bone. I should have taken a close up showing the structure better. Those could be tracks in the ripple-photo, the tracks are hard to see here if they hadn't blackened them.

Auspex Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Look again at the last pic: I "see" the head of a dinosaur, looking to the left! This is why I thought you'd taken the pic; a formation that looked like a dino head. Is it just me?

Ramo Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Auspex, that does look kind of like a head. I think it's part of a pelvis. Monday I'm planning on going down to Florissant to do a little collecting of my own. From what I have researched I think I can expect some plant material andI can hope for an insect or even possibly some bird stuff. I'll post a report after I get back.
