On September 28th, we explored a working
dinosaur quarry in Grand Junction, Colorado, joining scientists
and volunteers in the discovery and excavation process.
We got into the "trenches", working with Utah
State paleontologist Dr. James Kirkland, the discoverer
of the first Utah raptor skeleton, to uncover the secrets
of a Jurassic watering hole.
On September 29th, we went to the world famous Dinosaur
National Monument. Although still in the Morrison Formation,
the environment of deposition along the banks of a large
river system is very different from the watering hole of
the previous day. National Park paleontologist Dan Chute
will be your guide through the rich history of the area
and reveal some of the treasures yet to be discovered in
this unique park.
