Triceratops Love

Having a favorite dinosaur isn't just for children. My favorite is the Triceratops. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science has a wonderful fossil skull. 

On a recent trip to the museum with my daughter and two adult granddaughters, I realized how much I miss this kind of outing. We didn't have enough time to see everything.

The dioramas of taxidermied wildlife were not a favorite, although I did enjoy seeing a stuffed platypus. That might be the closest I ever get to a real one.

One granddaughter wanted to see the mineral collection. The other enjoyed the space displays. Those two areas were where we spent the most time.

We'll be going back soon. The Angkor, Cambodia exhibition will be opening later this month.

How much do I like the Triceratops? A fossil Triceratops is featured on the cover of book three in my Rock Shop Mystery series, Stone Cold Blooded. A missing brow horn spurs a mystery in a Colorado mountain town.
