Fossils of the Comanche National Grasslands located in southeastern Colorado

The area offers access to the rocks and fossils of the first major cycle of marine deposition of the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway. WIPS has explored the canyons, prairies, arroyos, cut banks, and deformed features which expose rocks from the Dakota Sandstone through the Smoky Hill Chalk. Learn why the rocks, fossils, and some of the modern life that makes this region so attractive for studying paleontology. In addition to enabling members to create meaningful collections of fossils of the Western Interior Seaway, WIPS has recovered, processed, identified, and donated hundreds of fossils to museums from Canon City and Denver, Colorado, to Fort Hays, Kansas.
