Paleontology in Colorado
Colorado public lands also have several internationally known paleontological sites, which are referred to as “localities.” Garden Park, near Cañon City, is one of the most significant localities for dinosaurs in the world. The Kremmling Cretaceous-Ammonite locality is one of the largest concentrations of marine fossils in North America.
