Agate is an unincorporated community in Elbert County, Colorado, United States, located about 90 miles southeast of Denver. The area is known for its rich paleontological fossil resources, particularly the Agate Fossil Beds National Monument, which preserves fossils of mammals such as ancient rhinoceroses and saber-toothed tigers from about 20 million years ago.
Agate is located on the western edge of the North American Great Plains, at an altitude of about 1,600 meters above sea level. It has a semi-arid continental climate with warm, dry summers and cold, windy winters. The surrounding terrain is dominated by grasslands and hills, near tributaries of the South Platte River, and the vegetation is characterized by drought-tolerant shrubs and grasslands.
