Paleontology and geologyErosion sculpted the modern Colorado landscape during the Quaternary. Mountain glaciers were present in the Rockies, but did not extend far onto the Great Plains. True prairies appeared for the first time, and mammoths, camels, bison, horses, sloths, lions, cheetah, bear, peccaries and other large mammals were fairly common. |
