Denver museum known for dinosaur displays finds fossil under its parking lot | Denver
A Denver Museum, known for its dinosaur screens, discovered a fossil bone discovery closer to his home under his own parking lot than expected.
The Denver came through a hole more than 750 FT (230 meters) to examine the geothermal heating potential for the Nature and Science Museum.
The museum is popular among dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages. Full -sized dinosaur skeletons are barely surprised for a parent for a parent.
This end finding is not visually impressive. Nevertheless, the probability of finding a hockey-discharge-shaped fossil sample was impressively small.
Only a few inch (5 cm) wide, museum officials struggled to explain how likely it was not to hit a dinosaur even in a region with such fossils.
“Finding a dinosaur bone in a nucleus, hitting a hole in one of the moon. Willy Wonka factory is like winning the factory, very rare, very rare.
According to the museum officials, only two similar findings were recorded in the holes in any part of the world anywhere in the world.
A small, plant -eating dinosaur spine is believed to be a source. He lived in the late Cretaceous period about 67.5m years ago. According to scientists, the asteroid effect ended the long dinosaur age about 66 m years ago.
The fossilized vegetation was also found in the hole hole near the bone.
“This animal was living in a swampy environment that would be a vegetation at that time, San
Over the years, Dinosaur discoveries in the region include Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops -type fossils. O’Connor said this Denver is the deepest and oldest.
Other experts in the field vouch for Find’s legitimacy, but vouched for confused reactions.
“This is a surprise, I think it is scientifically that scientifically,” said Thomas Williamson, Curator of Paleontology at the New Mexico Nature History and Science Museum in Albuquerque.
Williamson said exactly what kind of dinosaur species are.
Find, “Absolutely legal and very cool!” Erin Lacount, Director of Training Programs on Dinosaur Ridge Track site just west of Denver, said with E -Posta.
Lacount shows that the fossil is a duck -based dinosaur or Thescelosaurus, a smaller but slightly similar species.
The hole perforated fossil is currently on display at the Denver Nature and Science Museum, but there is no plan to search for more under the parking lot.
“To dig the dinosaur, I would love to dig a hole of 763 meters (233 meters) to dig the dinosaur. But I don’t think it will fly because we really need to park.”
