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.

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.

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.

This helped me understand stromatolites Better!!!!!

It was a great website with everything about stromatolites from modern fresh water stromatolites to how they were in the Precambrian times.

This website talks about stromatolites. It gives you a definition, about their fossils, where they use to be located and where they are located now both below and above water.

I thought this website as very good at explaining stromatolites and was super useful. Wikipedia is a very good recourse.

This site has great facts on stromatolites which are good to know. I learned things about stromatolites I didn't know before.

I thought this website was good in explaining stromatolites by using good pictures and vocabulary.

This website taught me a lot about stromatolites that I didn't know. I also thought it was cool how it taught you about how they were in ancient times and modern times.

This website shows how stromatolites form and it goes into depth about it. They generalize all facts about stromatolites and what they are. They can go into detail but Wikipedia can be unreliable because I found several grammatical and spelling errors

This was interesting because I did not know that stromatolites were one of the oldest forms of life.

Why are the layers curved?

Wow! Stromatolites are the oldest form of life on earth. They generalized lots of facts into a very informative page.

Stramatolites are the oldest fossils known. They are everywhere

There are remains that go all the way back to 3.5 billion years ago!!!! That's amazing! They are also the oldest fossils known.

This websit was very helpful. It is reinvent to what we are learning in class and has a lot of useful facts. I goes into detail with many subjects.

It was cute and funny.

It was funny and cute, but it doesn't really tells anything about the clam just how it swims. But I like it.

That's cute

Funny video but completely unrelated.

I love the clam, but it doesn't help our unit.

Cute clam, but it's not really related to our unit...

This was useless, it was not cute at all, it was a waste of my time!!!

Adorable clam but doesn't relate to the unit.

It is so cute but has nothing in common with what we're learning.

This was not a useful video it could have been improved by saying how it was swimming, or more detail.

The clam is really cool and "cute" but it has nothing to do with what were learning.

This I cool but it has absolutely nothing to do with what we are learning

This is very interesting and it could be a topic for more study however, it may not be appropriate for this topic.

The clam was supper funny looking and looked like it was just opening and closing its mouth, but really had nothing to do with what we are talking about it.

I never knew that clams swam like that. It is very odd

This was interesting because I never knew clams could swim!

Has little to do with ancient Denver's, they turned into fossils. Interesting, cute, and disgusting. This video shows a little clam swimming @ YouTube.

This clam is so weird yet cute!! But it doesn't relate to our unit

I didn't think clams could even swim!

I thought clams just sit on the ocean floor for their whole lives. I didn't know they could swim.

That clam is very strange but it is cool how clams swim and it is pretty cool colors

The only reason I new clams swam like this was sponge bob!

Very strange......

Cute clam!!!!!!!!! Swims with mouth open. Why does it have stringy things coming from it

The clam swims with its mouth open and on the top. It looks like it is pulling itself up and then it kind of goes down. (It swims like the clams in spongebob!)

It is cool how the clam eats and then spits out the "extra" and moves the oposit way of the pushing out.

Chase, writing that was a waste of time and u didn't have to watch it!

This is a cute WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have only thought that they float on the ocean floor, but they can swim. It is cool how they go opposite of the current so they can move.

This doesn't really have much to do with what we're learning, but it's still really cute and interesting how clams can swim, and not just float around on the ocean floor.

I did not know that clams could swim. It is fascinating how they have developed a way to swim just by pushing water around.

This clam is very interesting because it is small and can swim. This would be very helpful for avoiding predators, but it doesn't have much to do with our unit.

Thats interesting, i didn't realize clams could swim like that.

It is scary that when you swallow sea water you swallow thousands of little sea clams too.

But there is still some educational value- it came up in disscussion

That was actually cool, but it had no relation to Anxient Denvers.

This was kinda cute but totally useless with what were learning.

That... Is... Awesome!!! But I agree that is almost utterly useless.

That pretty awesome!!! But it is useless.

I did not know that a clam could swim I thought that they just sat on the ocean floor there whole life.

This relates to our unit because clams fossilized plus it is interesting to see a clam swim.

I did not know that clams swam!
