Bird

Lark Bunting
The Lark Bunting, Calamospiza melanocorys, is a medium-sized sparrow. It is the only member of the genus Calamospiza. These birds have a large pale bill and a pale wing patch. Adult males in breeding plumage are black except for their white wing patch. Other birds are more sparrow-like in appearance; they have dark brown upperparts and white underparts, with streaking on the back, breast and flanks. The wings are dark with brown edges.

Animal

Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep
Bighorn Sheep are named for the large, curved horns borne by the males, or rams. Females, or ewes, also have horns, but they are short with only a slight curvature. They range in color from light brown to grayish or dark, chocolate brown, with a white rump and lining on the back of all four legs. Rocky Mountains bighorn females weigh up to 200 pounds (90 kg), and males occasionally exceed 300 pounds (135 kg).

Fish

Greenback Cutthroat Trout
The cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family (family Salmonidae) of order Salmoniformes. It is one of the many trouts. Cutthroat trout are native to western North America. Some populations will live in the Pacific Ocean as adults and return to fresh water to spawn in the spring. These sea-run cutthroat trouts are very sought after in fly fishing. Cutthroat are similar to rainbow trout and will readily interbreed. Cutthroat trout have greenish backs with black spots and red marks in the bottom of their jaws.

Flower

Rocky Mountain Columbine

The columbines are a genus Aquilegia of about 70 species of perennials that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the northern hemisphere. They are known for their distinctive flowers, generally bell-shaped, with each petal modified into an elongated nectar spur.

Tree

Colorado Spruce or Blue Spruce

The Blue Spruce or Colorado Spruce (Picea pungens) is a medium-sized evergreen tree growing to 25-30 m tall, exceptionally to 46 m tall, and with a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 m. It is native to western North America, from southeast Idaho and southwest Wyoming, south through Utah and Colorado to Arizona and New Mexico. It grows at high altitudes from 1800-3000 m altitude, though unlike Engelmann Spruce in the same area, it does not reach the alpine tree-line. It is most commonly found growing along streamsides in mountain valleys, where moisture levels in the soil are greater than the often low rainfall in the area would suggest.

 

Fossil
Stegosaurus
Stegosaurus meaning "plated lizard", because of the plates on its back (Greek stego = plate/roof + sauros = lizard) was a genus of large herbivorous dinosaurs from the Upper Jurassic of North America. It is among the most easily identifiable dinosaurs, due to the distinctive double row of kite-shaped plates along the animal's back (the basis for its scientific name) and the four long spikes on its tail (referred to as the thagomizer).

Song

"Where the Columbines Grow"

Where the Columbines Grow is the state song of Colorado. It was written and composed by A.J. Fynn, and was adopted on May 8, 1915. In recent years, there has been debate over replacing the current song with John Denver's Rocky Mountain High.

Folk Dance

Square Dance

Square dance is a folk dance where four couples (eight dancers) begin and end each sequence in a square formation, with one couple on each side of a square. This is called being in your "sets-in-order". The dance was first described in 17th century England but was also quite common in France and throughout Europe. It has become associated with the United States of America due to its historic development in that country.

Gemstone

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a gemstone-quality transparent variety of beryl, having a delicate blue or bluish-green color, suggestive of the tint of sea-water. It's closely related to the emerald. It occurs at most localities which yield ordinary beryl, some of the finest coming from Russia. In the United States, aquamarines can be found at the summit of Mt. Antero in the Sawatch Range in central Colorado. The biggest aquamarine ever mined was found at the city of Marambaia, Minas Gerais (Brazil). It weighed over 110 kg, and its dimensions were 48.5 cm long and 42 cm in diameter. Aquamarine is the birthstone associated with March.

Mineral

Rhodochrosite

Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO3. Rhodochrosite forms a complete solid solution series with the iron carbonate, siderite. Calcium, magnesium and zinc to a limited extent substituite for manganese in the structure. It is typically a rose-red colour, but may also be shades of pink to pale brown. The streak is white. Its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4.

Rock

Yule Marble

Yule Marble is found in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado near the town of Marble, Colorado. It is famous for its uniform pure white consistency, lacking, for the most part, the gray streaking commonly found in other marble such as that found in Vermont. The rock is named for George Yule, a mining engineer who discovered and realized the value of the marble deposit. The Yule Marble deposit is among the largest in the world and, at 99.5% pure calcite, it is one of the purest marbles ever quarried. Yule Marble was declared the official Colorado state rock in 2004.
