Colorado has a long history of remarkable fossil finds. In the last few months alone, scientists have made exciting new discoveries, including the footprints of a running baby apatosaur. It happened again last year when a construction crew, using heavy machinery to expand a local reservoir, discovered the bones of Ice Age animals dating back 50,000 to 150,000 years. The muddy area near Colorado's Snowmass ski resort had once been an ancient mountain lake.
