Watch: Denver Museum Of Nature & Science Updates On Triceratops Find
DENVER (CBS4) - People got a live behind-the-scenes look on Facebook of the big triceratops find in Adams County.
Construction crews uncovered the triceratops fossil while working on a new police station for the city.
This is only the third triceratops that has been found along Colorado's Front Range.
On Tuesday, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, as part of their "Scientists in Action" program, did a special "Unearthing Thornton's Triceratops" program.
Kids in schools across the country, including here in Colorado, were able to ask questions of the paleontologists on site.
It's all part of a free monthly program connecting students with scientists where they work.
