New Exhibit at the CU Museum of Natural History
The newest exhibit at the CU Museum of Natural History, The Dinosaur Freeway in Colorado, takes a deep dive into the Earth鈥檚 Crustaceous period, when dinosaurs sauntered, slithered and scurried across our state 140 million years ago. Visitors to the Paleontology Hall can learn about different tracks (fossilized footprints), how they were formed, what trace fossils can tell us about behavior, and how to differentiate true tracks from natural casts. The exhibit is free, open daily, features a variety of textured tracks, and is sure to leave a lasting impression!听
