    The map is really helpful cause it shows where what igneous rocks are. It's a website that will help our research about this unit.

    This is very helpful and a great website
  • christinemb on 26 Nov 12
     
    This is about the types of igneous rocks and how they are formed. Good website!
  • lilaarnold on 26 Nov 12
     
    I did not know that igneous comes from a Greek word meaning fire! I also did not know that there are over 700 types of igneous rocks. Very helpful, thank you Jolie

    This was really helpful!! Ignis=fire, that is a new rule to remember things!
  • rasa-hopigirl on 26 Nov 12
     
    This a very helpful website. It tells you about the meaning of the word, the difference between intrusive and extrusive rocks, and tells you how igneous rocks are formed.
  • juliadellasalle on 26 Nov 12
     
    There are three types of rock types and igneous rock is one of them. There are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Most of igneous rocks are formed under Earth's crust.
  • hannahfallon on 26 Nov 12
     
    Good information on Denver's geology and the same pictures as in the accident Denver books
  • Ben Browner on 27 Nov 12
     
    This has great information about igneous rocks, which is one of the three types of rocks. It gives great information about extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks.
  • kohlterry on 27 Nov 12
     
    This tells you a lot about igneous rocks and the other two types of rock.

    This was very helpful. It was very informative about how the igneous rocks formed.
  • Tucker Hamilton on 02 Dec 12
     
    Igneous and metamorphic rocks make up 90-95% of the top 16 km of the Earth's crust by volume
  • alexwimer on 02 Dec 12
     
    I learned that hypabyssal rock forms under the surface of the Earth's crust.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    Igneous rock is one of the 3 main rock types and Ignis means fire in Latin.

    This is a cool website, but it is not really going to help with our ancient Denver's unit, it has many rocks and is very cool.
  • graceberlind on 26 Nov 12
     
    The museum has a really good supply of well cared for artifacts. They have a lot of ancient and modern artifacts.

    This rock museum website displays many rocks ,minerals, artifacts, and fossils.
  • sydturner12 on 26 Nov 12
     
    The website is full of ancient rocks and artifacts, but I don't think it will help us on Ancient Denver's since crater rock is in Oregon not Denver.
  • grantamann on 26 Nov 12
     
    This was a good site to look at different rocks, but not really informative.

  • chasestreet on 26 Nov 12
     
    The rocks were very cool and interesting. But this is useless for what we are learning.
  • nateswag on 26 Nov 12
     
    Has a lot of exhibits about rocks. However it is very off topic with stuff about Indian artifacts. It is also in Oregon so it is not that useful
  • christinemb on 26 Nov 12
     
    This is a good site if you want to see exhibitions and rocks, but it won't really help us in science and it doesn't really have to do with the geology of Denver.
  • Maria Jose Urbina Gonzalez on 26 Nov 12
     
    It was a cool website to look at all the different rocks, but it isn't that informative and its not really going to help on this unit, plus it's in Oregon.
  • izzyhaifleigh on 26 Nov 12
     
    This has nothing to do with what we are learning because its in Oregon. It's really cool to look at the different types of rocks but its not useful to this unit
  • Anna Scott on 27 Nov 12
     
    This website won't help much, it didn't say much about the rock anyways. It told more about the meuseum. Also, it doesn't really have to do with Ancient Denver at all.
  • macycummings on 27 Nov 12
     
    This isn't very helpful... More touristy.

    Wherever rocks of earths crust are visible, geology can be interpreted. This gives good examples and lots of details.
  • dgosh2312 on 27 Nov 12
     
    A good website to review everything we learned in class about Denver's geology.
  • Anna Scott on 27 Nov 12
     
    This is really relevant to what we're learning! Only this is boulder... And we're studying Denver but its basically the same so this is really helpful and not so hard to understand!
  • christophershay on 27 Nov 12
     
    This site went over Boulder geology in a very advanced and long way. I learned about all the geological periods and the effects they had on life in Boulder. I was not aware that there was a period known as the Pennsylvania Period.
  • sophiehernandez on 30 Nov 12
     
    I had no idea what the Pennsylvania period was until now. This is a really helpful site, but a little complex.

    Dinosaur ridge is a cool place to get to get. Involved with what fossils look like and how a cool mark that the divisors lift dose not have to be bones it can also be foot prints.

    In this site, you learn all about dinosaur ridge's history and all the fossils in it.
  • Tucker Hamilton on 02 Dec 12
     
    When Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints. These were found to include mostly Iguanodon-like footprints, perhaps from Eolambia. Carnivorous theropod tracks are also present.
  • alexwimer on 02 Dec 12
     
    I learned after reading the information posted on Wikipedia that the majority of the footprints on the ridge are Iguanodon-like footprints.
  • Lily Dines on 02 Dec 12
     
    I didn't know that dinosaur ridge was world famous. This website had very useful information.
  • isobelclara on 02 Dec 12
     
    This wikipedia site was very helful. Unlike most wiki's, this webisite did not flood me with information. It had only the nessicary info. I had no idea that when Alameda Parkway was being constructed in 1937 to provide access to Red Rocks Park, workers discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints.
  • graceymounsey on 02 Dec 12
     
    That's cool how you can see the actual tracks that dinosaurs made. But how were they fossilized.
  • jmacdonald11 on 03 Dec 12
     
    I thought this was a really good resource about dinosaur ridge. It talked about the fossils there an death dinosaurs are fou d there
  • cameronazari on 03 Dec 12
     
    It was very interesting to see how the dinosaur tracks have been preserved into the rock. Dinosaur ridge is a very important geological site, and it is amazing that it is located in Colorado.
  • juliadellasalle on 03 Dec 12
     
    Part of the Morrison Fossil Area National Natural Landmark is Dinosaur Ridge. Morrison, Colorado, that is just west of Denver, is where it is located. Dinosaur Ridge has found very famous dinosaur fossils over the years.
  • jwshwayder on 03 Dec 12
     
    I found this sight Extremely helpful. I really enjoyed they extra information about dinosaur preservation. I never new there were so many cool things in my backyard.
  • angelaeast on 03 Dec 12
     
    Dinosaur Ridge holds evidence to the past creatures that lived in Colorado. while the Alameda Parkway was being constructed so local citizens and visitors from other places could come and visit the beutiful rock formations of red rocks, tons of dinosaur footprints were found, mostly ones of the iguanadon. In dinosaur Ridge, widley know dinosaurs were found such as the fossils of the allosaurus. The allosaurus is a predator to sauropods.

    The Denver Formation is a geological formation in Colorado whose strata date back to the Late Cretaceous. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.[1]

    I think that it is crazy that the temperature has to go up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit! Then the carbon turns into graphite. This process takes a few weeks. I think that it's very cool that you can turn ashes into diamonds.
  • jwshwayder on 03 Dec 12
     
    This is really interesting how cremations can turn into diamonds with very high pressure and heat but I don't think this is really relevant to our unite. If you get one you can always keep your grandma close to your heart...literally.
