Dinosaurs are no longer roaming the earth, but their tracks live on. In the foothills on the Front Range of Colorado, a story can be told from pieces of the past left behind.Dinosaur Ridge has been ranked by a panel of esteemed paleontologists as the no. 1 track site in all the U.S. One of those world-renowned paleontologists is Martin Lockley, who has spent his life studying dinosaur tracks.“You're looking at a snapshot of an ancient environment," Lockley says.In an area of just a few hundred square feet, 330 dinosaur tracks have been discovered. However, the land was very different 100 million years ago. Lockley says the giant prehistoric animals weren't a mile high in the Rocky Mountains.They were on the beach at sea level in an environment very similar to present day Gulf of Mexico.“We like to joke and call this beach-front property a 100 million years ago," Lockley says.The soft, wet, sandy land made conditions ideal for preserving tracks."If they're walking on wet sediment, like a beach or a mud flat or the shores of a lake, and it dries out, it becomes hard like concrete," Lockley explains. "And the next time there's a flood washing in more sediment, it will bury those tracks without them being eroded away."Experts believe three different dinosaurs made their mark on this patch of land. Lockley says it's possible they were migrating along what used to be a coast. It's clear the western U.S. was a popular place to be, because there are more than 120 dinosaur track sites from Kansas to Utah. Martin suggests part of the reason is less vegetation in these states means more fossilized rock is exposed.But if there are so many track sites, what makes Dinosaur Ridge the top of all track sites? Executive Director Jeff Lamontagne, with Friends of Dinosaur Ridge, says there was a list of criteria the panel considered."How many tracks there are, the variety of dinosaurs seen in the tracks, the importance of the tracks, the clarity of the tracks, the accessibility and number of visitors," Lamontagne explains.Accessibility is the main reason Dinosaur Ridge has become so highly regarded."It's right outside a major metropolitan area, and there's a major road just a quarter mile from here," he says. "It's easy to see this compared to most other dinosaur track sites in the United States and in the world."People can get so close to the tracks; in some places you can even touch them. Although the tracks have been well-preserved for millions of years, their current exposure to humans and the elements could make them erode over time.Thankfully, with current technology, scientists can scan the surface and re-create it as 3-D permanent record. They also plan to build a cover to protect the land.However, Friends of Dinosaur Ridge believe the hands-on part of the site is important for kids to continue learning about the planet's past. A past that can teach us about topics like climate change, evolution and extinction."We used to think that the dinosaurs all went extinct, but then we realized that some of them survived and evolved into birds," Lockley says.For modern-day humans, Dinosaur Ridge will continue to be an intriguing learning opportunity, reminding people we aren't the only ones to experience life on Earth."It gives you a sense of wonder to imagine these enormous beasts living, playing, dying, a hundred million years ago," Lamontagne says.********************************************If you'd like to reach out to the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 3540

Facebook and the IRS are currently facing off in a billion dispute in U.S. Tax Court.The trial, which got underway on Tuesday, centers on a 2010 transaction in which Facebook transferred some of its intellectual property to a subsidiary in Ireland — a country with an extremely low corporate tax rate. The IRS claims that Facebook undervalued the properties in order to pay less in taxes.While Facebook values the assets transferred at about .5 billion, the IRS claims the value exceeds billion.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — After a Franklin County court judge denied Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's late request to move the state's primary election scheduled for Tuesday to June 2, DeWine said his public health director will order sites closed, defying the judge's order. DeWine announced earlier on Monday that he filed a lawsuit to move Ohio's primary election day to ensure the safety of Ohio voters in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic."During this time when we face an unprecedented public health crisis, to conduct an election tomorrow would force poll workers and voters to place themselves at an unacceptable health risk of contracting coronavirus," DeWine tweeted after the judge's ruling. "As such, Dr. Amy Acton will order the polls closed as a health emergency. While the polls will be closed tomorrow, Secretary of State Frank LaRose will seek a remedy through the courts to extend voting options so that every voter who wants to vote will be granted that opportunity."DeWine said that he does not want Ohio voters who are at-risk for COVID-19 to have to make the choice between their constitutional right and their health."It is therefore my recommendation, after talking with the secretary of state, talking with the attorney general, talking with the lieutenant governor, that voting be extended to June 2," DeWine said. "That no in-person voting occur today, that in-person voting happen on June 2." He also recommended extending absentee voting by mail until June 2."It is, I believe, the right thing to do," DeWine said.However, DeWine said earlier on Tuesday he does not have the authority to delay the election - the state constitution provides for moving election day in the event of an invasion.LaRose said that he has advised the state's Attorney General, Dave Yost, to accept the governor's recommendation and allow the election day delay. He said the lawsuit would be submitted for consideration Monday afternoon."When we look back at this we're going to be glad we did this," DeWine said.In addition, people aged 65 and older, pregnant and those with compromised immune systems are being asked by DeWine not to leave their homes.DeWine issued several new orders Monday in an attempt to slow the spread of coronavirus. His order will close fitness centers, gyms, bowling alleys, recreation centers, movie theaters, indoor water parks, and indoor trampoline parks. This order will take effect at close of business Monday.In addition, in order to conform the CDC guidelines, DeWine adjusted Ohio's mass gathering ban from 100 people at a gathering to 50.DeWine's decision comes days after the state, along with Arizona, Florida and Illinois, said in a 2678
