Slightly southeast of Denver on the Colorado Front Range, the West Bijou Creek meanders through a 7600 acres located on the K-T Boundary. According to the National Park Service the site "contains some of the most scientifically important evidence associated with the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary [formerly known as the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary]. The K-Pg boundary at the West Bijou Site is unique due to its palynological extinction level, fern-spore spike, iridium anomaly and shocked quartz, Cretaceous and Paleogene (Tertiary) vertebrate fossils, magnetostratigraphy, and radiometric dating. Bisecting the site, West Bijou Creek, maintains a natural hydrologic pattern, flowing through a mosaic of upland and riparian shortgrass prairie plant communities, supporting a diversity of common and rare plant and wildlife species. West Bijou Site provides an excellent example of a valuable geologic resource located within a natural shortgrass prairie ecosystem."
