A rarity for sure...but not a coin. A nerdy fossil lover moment here in Colorado...

Colorado's first ever Raptor track!
I walk/hike regularly at Dinosaur Ridge a few minutes away in Morrison where we have many dozens of dinosaur tracks on an ancient fossilized beach.
For a couple years now there's been a hole in the mountain at the top covered with an iron gate... now we finally know what it is! :smiley:

    Congratulations to the sharp-eyed fossil hunter who found that!
    Those eyes would be useful when looking through coins....

    Very cool item.

    I have some fossils, but, obviously, nothing like that

    That is very interesting. This area has a lot of fossils....shells and other ancient little critters. They were a major source of interest - and collecting - when I grew up here. Can still find them down by the river or around the shale banks. Nothing major like dinosaur tracks though. Cheers, RickO
