The Golden History Museum is displaying a triceratops track fossil that is 66 million years old.
A dinosaur track in danger of eroding and being destroyed this winter was saved by History Colorado and the Golden History Museum.'s paleontology resource specialist, says more research needs to be done for confirmation, but the fossil is likely from a triceratops.
The fossil came off a rock wall on Triceratops Trail along Fossil Trace Golf Course. There's another well-defined triceratops footprint still there, alongside prehistoric plant impressions and the tracks of ancient birds and mammals. "What we're left with is the reverse of that impression, so it's the opposite way you'd think to look at a track," Snyder said.
"The first T-Rex tooth ever known was discovered right here in Golden," Richie said."It was discovered in 1874, and when they first found it, they knew it was a dinosaur tooth. It was the beginning of understanding what a dinosaur was, but they had never actually discovered the full body before."
