(A link at the bottom of the page takes you to more attractions.)
Florissant Fossil Beds is known the world over for its fossilized plants and insects.
Thirty-million years ago volcanic eruptions buried the insects and plants in mud and ash.
There was once a large lake in the area. The insects and plants were buried by the water
and compacted into the shale and were preserved. The terrain looks very different today.
