i have kind of been following this story in our local news.
but re-reading the update to me sort of blew my mind today.
the bones they found have been identified as a triceratops. probably one of the coolest dinosaurs ever.
but then i was reading (and thinking). dinosaurs roamed the "earth" 66 MILLION years ago. MILLION. not 1,000 years ago .. not 10,000 years ago. 66 million years ago this triceratops was running around this parcel of land on earth which is now called Colorado. and passed away. and somehow it's bones were preserved and it took until NOW to unearth them. WHAT?
simply amazing. really.
so dang cool.
have a great weekend!
