In this site, you learn all about dinosaur ridge's history and all the fossils in it.

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.

I learned after reading the information posted on Wikipedia that the majority of the footprints on the ridge are Iguanodon-like footprints.

I didn't know that dinosaur ridge was world famous. This website had very useful information.

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.

That's cool how you can see the actual tracks that dinosaurs made. But how were they fossilized.

I thought this was a really good resource about dinosaur ridge. It talked about the fossils there an death dinosaurs are fou d there

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.

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.

This was very helpful, I did not know there was dinosaurs in Morrison

In order for a fossil to form, the body must be buried quickly before weather conditions and scavengers have a chance to scatter or otherwise destroy the bone.

The Morrison rock formation was from about 155- 148 million years ago.

This website is extremely helpful and relates directly to what we are learning. We should use it in class to futher our knowledge.

It includes the fossils that were found.

This website is very good! I was surprised by how many different fossils were found there!

This website was really good. It was about the different fossils found, from what dinosaur they where from, and where they where mostly found.

Stromatolites are the Earth's oldest fossils. Some stromatolites are from 3.5 MYA. Stromatolites are all over the world.

This was really cool because the pictures really made you think.

They old things are really cool.

The pictures were very interesting and stromatolites are the oldest fossils. They are about 3 million years old

I can't believe the world may have depended on stromatolites.

I did not know that they are the oldest fossils on Earth. If scientists disagree about the definition, then is there more information to be found about these fossil?

I did not know that stromatolites were the oldest fossil on earth. And some scientists think that they were formed from green and blue algae but that is just one theory. This is a helpful interesting website that will help with our geology unit.

This site taught me that the stromatolites are a rather unknown species that's formation is not too well known.

i thoght it was very interesting that the plates are always moving but it takes us millions of years to see progress.

This is a really good website about stromatolites and retakes to what we are learning.

Great find Christine. this really relates to what we have been learning in science class. Some of the facts that i had learned while reading the sections, even though I had not read all of them because, I was pressed on time, that stromatolites are considered one of the earths oldest fossils besides phylogenetic determination of conserved nucleic acid sequences. Stromatolites are basically considered portals to the knowledge of earths past life, into the deep time of the earths existence, the evolution of different species that are thriving in the modern times. I didn't know that scientist often disagreed on how to classify stromatolites. Some believe that it is a laminated rock that is formed by the growth of blue or green algae.
