Do you have a fossil from Colorado that you would like to identify? Follow these three simple trees to determine what your fossil might be. First decide if it was a part of an animal, a plant, or if it is a track or a trail. Then go to the proper tree and make the choices. The end of your journey should be at least a designation of the group to which the fossil belonged. From there, click on the link pages to take you to a final determination and description of the fossil. Start here. Does your fossil look like Dino Poop? It probably is! Dino Poop
