Researcher Matt Mossbrucker believes four small dinosaur tracks found within sight of the skyscrapers of downtown Denver were made by two stegosaur babies, a find he says would be “incredibly rare.”
And… land dinos actually swam too?
“The place is full of walking theropod dinosaur footprints,” he said.
“It doesn’t surprise me at all that theropod dinosaurs had the ability to swim,” said dinosaur track specialist Brent Breithaupt, curator and director of the Geological Museum at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. “What does surprise me is that you’d find evidence of this.”
Neat. The area is filled with dinosaur tracks, and the size/distance of the tracks suggests a large animal. Suffice to say there is enough evidence to suggest the dinosaurs were in the water as well as on land.
Speaking of dinosaurs….. If you haven’t heard of the creationist museum you should check out this “sneak peak“. It’s really crazy stuff. I’d like to go to check out the dinosaur room, but I’d want to sneak in so that I wouldn’t support the “museum”. It’s crazy stuff.
(I was going to make this post slightly longer - but I’m watching this show Beauty and the Geek and its so hilarious - one of the geeks just called a beauty “academically uninclined” and I nearly died laughing. It was even funnier when her response was “I’m not academically whatever you just said!” Also - one of the geeks says his job is to track monkies with lazers. It’s awesome. I love geeks.)
