The Denver Museum of Nature and Science, famous for its dinosaur exhibits, stumbled upon a fossil right beneath its own parking lot. The discovery happened accidentally while drilling a 750-foot-deep hole to explore geothermal heating options for the museum. Talk about finding treasure in your own backyard!

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just a quirky coincidence—it’s a reminder that history (even prehistoric history) is often hiding in plain sight. For a museum dedicated to fossils, this is a fun twist of fate that could lead to new research or even a future exhibit. Plus, it’s a great story about how science sometimes surprises us when we least expect it.
