It turns out that you don’t have to look far for dinosaur fossils in Denver — just deep. The denvermuseumns just announced that researchers found one 763 feet below the surface of its own parking lot.
The partial bone fossil researchers unearthed is similar to the vertebrae of a Thescelosaurus, a plant-eating dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous Period 67 million years ago. The fossil is the deepest and oldest dinosaur fossil ever found within Denver city limits, according to the DMNS.
