Tagged for notability for over 5 years; I couldn't establish notability. Boleyn (talk) 10:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can get part of the way to doing so. This has been studied by scientists, who have published their research. It's also documented as a part of history. There's an article in Colorado Outdoors magazine (either volume 45 or volume 46 in 1996) that apparently gives history, explaining the deeding to the West Arapahoe Soil Conservation District of part of the WW2 Lowry Bombing Range in 1949 and the designation as a "state natural area" in 1979, neither of which are explained in the article at hand. I'd cite it for the benefits of those with better access to sources, but I am unable to obtain author and title information. There's another article in the same magazine from either volume 25 or volume 26, in 1976, that appears to be similarly informative. Uncle G (talk) 11:19, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Important site for palentologists, significant public open space/education facility, covered in reliable sources, I've added some sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:08, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article now demonstrates notability, indicated by RS coverage in a variety of sources over a period of more than a decade. --Orlady (talk) 12:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
