Stegosaurus's bones were buried around 150 to 155 million years ago. Over time, they fossilized and were buried very deep. However, the processes that formed the Rocky Mountains eventually pushed those rocks up towards the surface. Then weathering and erosion eventually dug away the exposed rock above the Stegosaurus fossil. Eventually, the fossils were close enough to the surface to be discovered.
