In late 2022, the tibia and fibula of a sauropod — a dinosaur with a very long neck and tail — were found in the Royal Gorge area of Colorado. And you can see them in person at a grand reveal on Jan. 21.
The Royal Gorge Regional Museum & History Center, located at 612 Royal Gorge Boulevard, will present the two new fossils at a reveal on Jan. 21 at 10 a.m. Afterward, Western Interior Paleontological Society volunteers will work every Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to prepare and preserve the fossils at the museum.
Sauropods, which are herbivorous, are a dinosaur subgroup classified by their long necks and tails, large size, and thick four legs. They were the largest of any land animals on Earth. The below photo is an example of a sauropod — this one was on display in 2014 at the Dubai Mall in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.Looking for more dinosaur action in Colorado? Construction crews even found fossils while building Coors Field — thus, we have Dinger, the Rockies' prehistoric mascot.
While they no longer roam the earth, dinosaur tracks live on. Around Dinosaur Ridge in Jefferson County are — as you may guess — obvious evidence of these beasts. The ridge has been ranked by a panel of esteemed paleontologists as the No. 1 track site in all the United States. In an area of just a few hundred square feet, there are about 330 dinosaur tracks.
