Where else can you see what enormous creatures the dinosaurs were and what kinds of plants and other animals were living on the earth billions of years ago. Imagine what it would have been like to have lived in the presence of these huge, ominous beasts who could empty acres of flora and fauna in one days feasting or eat a whole triceratops at one sitting. The Dinosaur Quarry, which is located, seven miles north of Jensen is open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. At the quarry you can watch as paleontologists carefully chip away at soil and clay surrounding bones and fossils to expose them to view. The bones are left in place in the rock to form a unique display. Rangers are on duty each day to answer visitors' questions. There is something for everyone at the quarry. Shutter bugs can have a field day taking pictures. Hikers may join the walk from the Josie Morris Cabin ten miles from the quarry for a one and one half hour stroll in the oasis-like setting of a pioneer homestead site and shady box canyons.

The informal talks and slide presentations discuss the dinosaurs, living wildlife, rivers, canyons and the people who explored ex-plored them. At the monument is a modern facility built right over the working face of the dinosaur quarry. It features a mural and miniaturized display of preshistory inhabitants of the region. On the upper deck of the structure you are eye to eye with a brontosaurus and his era mates. There are partial skeletons visible visi-ble for at least nine dinosaur species that lived and died there and were preserved in what was once soft, sandy river banks. As you stand at the monument looking out over the Green River while it winds, meanders and carves its way across the valley, you become a witness of the Continued on Page 5 31 ilu?
