I took this picture on my jaunt to Golden a couple of weeks ago (HERE and HERE), and completely forgot to blog it! This is at a place called Dinosaur Ridge, where you can see actual fossilized dinosaur footprints, among other fascinating prehistoric things. Pretty cool! I stopped there because I've always been curious about the place, but realized that a bit of walking was involved and it would be a lot more fun to explore with a friend, so after a few minutes (and a few snapshots) I got back in my car and kept on driving. By now I've forgotten what kind of dinosaur this is. Something-or-other-osaurus? I'll have to go back with a friend -- preferably my brother, who has a degree in geology and a lifelong fascination with paleontology, or my friend Russell, who is an honest-to-gosh paleo artist. Either of them would be excellent companions at a place like this!

There some left were you are? In France, they are called politicions, conservative ones
I like the details on this one. It makes me want to pay a visit to our Nature Museum, where we've got some fossils.
Rob, ha! We have plenty of those here too ;^)
Fine looking dinosaur!
