Denver Museum of Nature and Science finds a dinosaur fossil under its own parking lot [View all]
https://coloradosun.com/2025/07/11/denver-museum-nature-science-dinosaur-fossil-parking-lot/Only two similar finds have been noted in bore hole samples anywhere in the world, not to mention on the grounds of a dinosaur museum, according to museum officials
"Denver museum known for its dinosaur displays has made a fossil bone discovery closer to home than anyone ever expected, under its own parking lot.
It came from a hole drilled more than 750 feet deep to study geothermal heating potential for the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
The museum is popular with dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages. Full-size dinosaur skeletons amaze kiddos barely knee-high to a parent, much less to a Tyrannosaurus.
This latest find is not so visually impressive. Even so, the odds of finding the hockey-puck-shaped fossil sample were impressively small."
