The area around Villa de Leyva is known for fossils.

"Villa de Leyva (sometimes spelled Villa de Leiva) is a colonial town and municipality, in the Boyacá department, part of the subregion of the Ricaurte Province. The town is located some 40 km west of Tunja and has a population of about 4,000 people. Villa de Leyva is considered one of the finest colonial villages of Colombia, and was declared a National Monument in December 17, 1954 to preserve its architecture. It is located in a high altitude valley at 2,144 m altitude where fossils from the Mesozoic and the Cretaceous abound......"

Although I hear there's an old gringo dinosaur walking around Cartagena these days ;)

Babygirl..you should get out more often! Don't let this get you all the way down and out!

This is near Villa de Leyva. I was told that because they didnt want to try to move it, because of the size, that they built the building over the original place it was found. Must have been water there at one time as it has flippers.

Bad news: Girls are girls the world over, and it's easy to find big purple dinosaurs in Colombia.

Good news: Boys are boys the world over, and it brought me great joy to see a Colombian tyke hold up Barney with one hand (like a punching bag) and pummel him with the other.

I bet RAAAY wakes up like that dinosaur just about every morning.....if he doesnt wake up one day, then does that mean that someone from some future generation will find his bones and construct a building like that over him?..stranger things have happened....=)..will his bones be found in Colombia, the US, Italy, or in Ireland?? that is the question....
