The Dinosaur Quarry. Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado-Utah
John Maxwell Good and others
In a Utah cliff, thousands of dinosaur bones lie jumbled where a river left them. This guide to Dinosaur National Monument explains how the quarry formed, where dinosaurs sit among the reptiles, and how they lived in Jurassic time, from gizzard stones to their tolerance of heat. A vivid introduction to a world-famous fossil bed. Step up to the wall where dinosaurs still wait in stone.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
