Florissant Fossi Beds National Monument

Wagon wheel rustlers? That seems to be the case at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, where thieves have made off with six wagon wheels from two historic wagons that have been on display at the Hornbek homestead.

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of two related events: the establishment of the park and a landmark court case that helped lay the foundation for modern environmental law.

Though the facilities at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument aren't as old as the fossils the site protects, at times it seems like they are.
