Here is our list of the 16 most significant dinosaur discoveries in Colorado.
The choices were difficult because most of the best-known dinosaurs were first discovered in the state. But we focused on the “firsts,” rather that the rich lodes of dinosaur bones that are scattered across Colorado.
• Allosaurus
• Apatosaurus
• Brachiosaurus
• Camarasaurus
• Ceratosaurus
• Diplodocus
• Epanterias
• Fruitadens
• Haplocanthosaurus
• Ornithomimus
• Stegosaurus
• Supersaurus
• Theiophytalia
• Torvosaurus
• Triceratops
