Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument

Comment on Facebook

This national monument is one of the richest and most diverse fossil deposits in the world. It’s nestled in central Colorado and features petrified Redwood stumps and fossilized plants and insects that give a look into a new part of prehistoric Colorado. There are many things to see and do, including an online museum, guided tours and outdoor activities. The Florissant Fossil Beds are not to be missed in Colorado!
