Episode Details

Denver’s Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies, sits atop land that’s been hiding dinosaur secrets for 68 million years. During construction in 1993, workers unearthed tiny fossil fragments — a rib and others — likely from a plant-eating dinosaur like a triceratops or torosaurus.
