Kuy-kenda- ll, n, n, Skeleton one of the rarest dinosaur finds DINOSAUR - NATIONAL A partial skeleMONUMENT d ton discovered in the 150 Morrison Formation in Dinosaur National Monument has turned out to be an unexpected treasure and one of the rarest of all the remains of a dinosaur finds dinosaur embryo. According to the National Park Service, the skeleton, which is about 30 percent complete, is from an individual estimated to be only nine inches long. Study of the bones has identifed the embryo as belonging to the plant-eata dinosaur reaching adult million-year-ol- er Camp-tosauru- "There was no hint on the surface that an embryo was buried at the site. If they had not stopped to look for plant fossils the embryo would never have been found because there was no indication that any bones were buried there. ' ' Weber State University Dr. Sid Ash, who actually found the first bones, said he was "disappointed that the specimen was not a plant fossil but admits that it is at least as good as one. ' ' The discovery is the latest in a series of important finds made during the last 10 years at Dinosaur National Monument, known for its abundant dinosaur fossils, some of withwhich are preserved in the Quarry Visitor Center. However, work elsewhere in the park has uncovered the embryo as well as the remains of the plants and animals which were the contemporaries of the dinosaurs fish, salamanders, frogs, turtles, lizards, crocodiles, and mammals. Plant fossils found range from microscopic pollen and sports to fossilized logs nearly 60 feet in length. As these studies continue, the ecosystem long buried in the rocks of the Morrison Formation within the Monument is beginning to once again see the light of day . paleo-botani- st s, lengths of 25 feet. This is the first known embryo of Camptosaurus and one of the few dinosaur embryos known anywhere from rocks of the Jurassic ce world-famo- period. The specimen, discovered in the fall of 1991 by paleontologist and geologists from the National Park Service, U.S. Geological Survey, and Weber State University, was found while excavating rocks for plant fossils. It was not at first recognized as a dinosaur because only a few small bones were partially exposed. Preparation of the delicate specimen over the winter revealed Graphic courtesy of Dinosaur National Monument drawing of what scientists believe is a Camptosaurus embryo from preserved bones found recently at Dinosaur National Monument.

The county's planning commission recommended denying the application after a June 4 public hear- ing, and county commissioners conducted a public hearing Aug. 17 to consider Boyne's appeal. County planner Bob Mathis, wrote a qualified recommendation in favor of the zone change. In a June 22 letter to the county commission, Zane R. Doyle, Brighton area manager, writes, "Brighton believes that the rezon-in- g should have been recommended (by the planning commission) for approval based on the criteria set forth in the Wasatch County development code and the extensive and detailed studies submitted to the county. "Studies, findings and reports make it abundantly clear that the application fully meets the devel- opment code's requirements for rezoning." Doyle listed the grounds for the . appeal, including: The planning commission failed to recognize that all requirements of the development code have been met. The planning commission failed io recognize that all requirements of the Wasatch County Land Use Plan have been met. The project will have a net positive revenue benefit to the county. The planning commission failed to follow the requirements the development code. of Competing proposals and pub- lic clamor were improperly considered by the planning commission. In his response to the application, Mathis wrote, "The available information must be evaluated and the most significant items used to make a decision." Lake's decline means trouble for SLC A.

Og-de- n; SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -SCity is considering restricting use of culinary water from Utah Lake, which has dropped precariously during six years of drought. Public Utilities director W. Hooton Jr. said Tuesday his department is contemplating a 20 percent voluntary reduction in the use of culinary water in the .Salt Lake City service area.

The reason Salt Lake City can use water from Parleys, Big and Little Cottonwood creeks and Mill Creek is that the city has exchange contracts with irrigators who originally used or held rights to water from canyon streams. The city entered into the contracts, promising it would provide Utah Lake water to the irrigators if the city could use the 1983-198- pump the water into the Salt Lake Valley. "Saturday afternoon we had a norh wind that blew water away from the pump plant. We have had no Utah Lake water" since that time, Hooton said. "We are looking at our legal obligations. We are looking at restrictions on the culinary system." To provide minimal irrigation water to meet its exchange contracts, Hooton said, the city is releasing up to 35 cubic feet per second of water from wells in Salt Lake County, from Deer Creek Reservoir and the Big Cottonwood treatment plant. high-quali- ty rather than wait for the regular September meeting, so contractors can begin work more quickly.
