Titled light-brown sandstone surface with hundreds of three-toed dinosaur tracks with varying sizes on it surface; track forms are enhanced by charcoal, giving them blackened appearances. Tracksite has a fence and paved walkway in foreground, and greenery in the background. Place is Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado.

Had a fun time doing paleontology in the Denver CO area this week, & thrilled to revisit Dinosaur Ridge yesterday for 1st time since 2014. Thanks to @maryanningsrevenge.bsky.social for inviting me & to @profe-hallucigenia.bsky.social & @summitsandstrata.bsky.social for ichnologizing with y'all! 🧪🦖🦕🐾

The Burpee Museum of Natural History has amazing ceratopsian displays!

Last July, on my road trip to New York, I got the chance to check out this amazing museum in Rockford, Illinois. *ignore my crocs*

New blog, check it out! It's a quick adventure through Morrill Hall's famous paleontological specimens of Nebraska, including Archie, a 14ft tall Columbian Mammoth that was found by chickens!!
