Each year, tens of millions of people marvel at dinosaurs from the Garden Park Fossil Area in museums across the country. In the early and mid-1900s, museums searched for large dinosaurs to serve as centerpieces for new exhibits, and some found them in Garden Park. The Stegosaurus at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science was found there in 1936 and is Colorado's State Fossil. Discoveries continue in Garden Park as eroding rock exposes new fossils. In 1992, a crew from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science discovered the world's most complete Stegosaurus, a find that has deepened understanding of how Stegosaurus looked and behaved. Garden Park is unique for the large number of detailed and whole skeletons found there. Only the most complete and best-preserved specimens are commonly showcased, while most collected fossils are rarely displayed. Even small pieces are valuable to museum collections and can reveal new information as scientific knowledge and research methods advance. Specimens from Garden Park are housed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and examples of its dinosaurs can also be seen at the Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center in Cañon City and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
