Explore. Discover. Study. Teach. That's what we do here. And you can take part in it. Since 2003, we've been exploring the Jurassic rocks of Morrison, Colorado trying to develop a better understanding of the ancient life and landscapes here. We call it the Ajax Discovery Project, named after a gigantic brontosaur that was discovered here.

Historic Dinosaur Dig Tours: Want to see the dig sites where the first Apatosaurus skeletons were found more than 130 years ago? Do you want to walk were baby Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus roamed? Come explore these historic sites with Matthew Mossbrucker, the discoverer of the now famous baby dinosaur tracks. Reservations are now being accepted for tours of the historic dinosaur quarries of Morrison and the fossils recovered from these sites at the Morrison Museum. Registration is $120 per person for a 5 hour program. Portions of this experience are strenuous, and involve short vertical hikes that involve loose rocks, rattlesnakes, and cactus. Therefore, due to safety concerns, this tour is not suitable for those under age sixteen. Snacks and water will be provided. Participants are responsible for their own transportation and meals. Call 303-697-1873 and speak with Matthew Mossbrucker or email him for more information.
