When you think of a dinosaur exhibit, what typically comes to mind are large replicas of the bones of a Tyrannosaurus rex or stegosaurus, reconstructed as they would have moved through the world in a time long, long past. But at the Dinosaur National Monument Quarry, you are immersed into a graveyard of sorts, where over 1500 fossilized dinosaur bones lay as they were buried in the mud millions of years ago. ReBecca Hunt-Foster, Dinosaur National Monument’s Park Paleontologist, tells us more about the geology, paleontology, and even archeology of this very unique, and nearby exhibit.
