Dinosaur book unfolds mysteries of past Nearly all Vernal residents take their out-of-town visitors to Dinosaur National Monument as part of an area tour. It becomes a practical ritual. After several such tours, the bones on the quarry face eventually begin to blend together while our guests excitedly ex-citedly walk the gallery and ask questions ques-tions of the park rangers. On the way back to town the questions continue and that "forest for the trees" feeling creeps in. Here we are next door to the world's finest and most famous dinosaur quarry, but our knowledge of its fine points is sketchy. Such a dilemma no longer needs to continue. The Dinosaur Nature Association has recently published a new, 40-page, full-color book called "Dinosaur." It is the first book ever published that deals specifically with the history, current cur-rent activity, and future of the quarry part of the monument. Heretofore the quarry has only been mentioned in books which cover a much broader scope. The Dinosaur Nature Association is a cooperating association like others found throughout the National Parks system. It manages the sale of books and Interpretive materials at the monument's two visitor centers. Proceeds Pro-ceeds from the sales are used to enhance the public's experience at the Monument. The new publication is written by Dinosaur Monument staff members Linda West and Dan Chure. Its entertaining enter-taining style is designed for the general public and makes a complex history and subject matter live with interesting in-teresting stories, photographs and original artwork. Linda West illustrated il-lustrated the book with eight pages of colorful and unusual drawings. She has produced artwork and written material for several other publications used at the Monument. A look through the new book gives the reader fine understanding of the Monument's two histories.

One also steps much further back into in-to history as West and Chure describe best and latest views on dinosaur life. One interesting . footnote: the dinosaurs of the local area didn't live in a lush tropical forest and wade around in swamps to support their bulk. New research indicates that while this area was much greener than it is today, in the dinosaur era it was a flat plain near sea level. Cross out that idea from your elementary school textbook. Other new facts are mentioned, such as the current belief that the plate-backed plate-backed Stegosaurus has one brain the size of a walnut in its skull and not another one in its hip as had been previously thought. You may also be surprised to know that freshwater clam shells are the most common fossil found at the quarry. "Somehow, though, 'Clam National Na-tional Monument' doesn't have the proper ring to it," the authors quip. Modern-day activities are also discussed in Dinosaur. The creation of the position of fossil preparator is outlined. Tobe Wlkins and Jim Adams are highlighted. A visit to the quarry often includes the information that several of the skeletons have been removed to faraway places such as the Smithsonian Smithso-nian and Carnegie museum. Photos of those exhibits are included In the book showing readers what is no longer here. When the new books were put on the shelves Tuesday, they quickly became popular and SO copies had been sold before the end of the day. Dinosaur" is only available at the Monument this summer. In the fall it will be available to bookstores across the nation. Our Dinosaur National Monument quarry takes on a much more pleasant significance because of "DincKiaur."
