Dinosaur Ridge
On Dinosaur Ridge Dakota Hogback
Sandstone is home to stegosaurus bones
Morrison formation stops in its tracks
Preserved allosaurus bones settle in stone
Fish scales etch in gray shale from a lost sea
A sea whose ripples rest on the freeway
Over tracks of their past birds wander free
These foothills share stories of yesterday
Asteroid collision dusts blocked sun
Plants starved in the darkness of space debris
Just dinosaur trails left in Morrison
Framed by fields of flowers windblown and free
Brontosaurus dinosaur megatracksite
Dinosaur Ridge holds history rock tight
