Back to the Jurassic: Shedding New Light on Local Dinosaur Heritage
Colorado's first giant Jurassic dinosaurs were discovered in the foothills of Jefferson County. What was the world of the dinosaur like in the Front Range? The Morrison Natural History Museum's Ajax Discovery Project* takes paleontologists and geologists back to historic quarry sites, including Quarry 10 where Apatosaurus ajax was first discovered in 1877, to uncover clues that add to our understanding of ancient environments. Join Jurassic "crime scene investigators" Dr. Robert Bakker and Matthew Mossbrucker as they shed new light on the life and times of Jurassic giants and announce an important new dinosaur first for Colorado.
* The Ajax Discovery Project is funded by grants from Aggregate Industries and the Jefferson Co. Cultural Council (SCFD).
