Agent Bonefish spent a week at sea on a tall Dutch ship off the coast of Peru + Ecuador. She pulled on ropes, gutted fish, and found time to recruit four new members. Delighted to join, one recruit, a ship crewman, said, “anything can be sploring?!” And then he scurried up the rope ladder all way to the top of a mast.
Agent Bonefish followed, the Splorers Club flag tucked in her back pocket, then unfurled it for all to gaze upon — the glittering sea expanding in every direction.
Me, Nana, and Hazel went to CU to see the new Triceratops! The first Triceratops fossils were a pair of giant horns found near Denver in 1887. However, they were mistakenly identified by paleontologist O.C. Marsh as belonging to a giant, extinct bison (a cousin to CU's mascot Ralphie). As more fossils were discovered, Marsh realized his mistake. We now know those original giant horns belonged to Triceratops. We found this piece with the Triceratops, there were a lot of other pieces of information but this one was interesting to me because we are in Colorado and the horns were discovered here! Did you know that Colorado was just a tiny Island when Triceratops were alive! They were alive between the Cretaceous and the Cenozoic period.
