Show I i : i V The Bare fossilized egg found in Lloyd quarry ; An extremely rare fossilized egg was recently extracted in central Utah during excavations at the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. The work was done last September by Brigham Young University (BYU), under antiquities permit by BLM, but the value of the find is just now being recognized. The egg has generated considerable excitement among scientists because it is only the second egg identified from Jurrasic strata. The structure of the egg is similar to that of a bird, but this egg is about 4 inches long and has a shell that is about one millimeter thick. Since excavation, the egg has been minutely studied under an electron microscope by an egg expert in Colorado and hospitalized for Xrays and CAT scans. What has been revealed appears to be a 147 million year old fossilized embryo. The BLM Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry is a National Natural Landmark and has long been a focus of interest for paleontologists. It was first excavated from 1928 through 1931 by Golden York of the University of Utah. The Princeton University Project was then initiated by .William Lee Stokes in 1939 (then a student at Princeton) after the university had received funding from quarry. . Dr. Stokes and James Madsen, on behalf of several cooperating schools and museums, excavated the largest pan of what is now the Cleveland Plate & Plexi Glass Mirrors Insurance Work 1195 S.

The quarry and visitor center are managed by the BLM Moab District out of Price, Utah. In 1967, BLM and the Castle Valley Job Corps began construction of the quarry visitor center and picnic area. The facilities were dedicated in September of 1968 as BLM's first visitor center and, by 1978, protective shelters had been erected over the excavation area. In 1982, BLM had the quarry deposit drilled to extract cores indicating the trend of the deposit and providing for doctoral studies in petrology. And now the egg provides the latest chapter. Over the years, BLM has supervised a permitting program to help ensure that the scientific value of fossil evidence is preserved and interpreted by qualified professionals. Past and recent excavations at the BLM's management of the site also emphasizes the quarry's value for education and public recreation. When visiting in the summer, you could meet a budding young scientist in the fourth grade, an avid geolo- nt, a claw or the sharpness of a tooth. This September, BLM plans to pull together some of the many people who have been a part of the development and management of the Lloyd collection of dinosaurs between 1960 and 1965. The quarry proved to be an unusually concentrated graveyard for dinosaurs, particularly for the predatory One of the most productive dinosaur quarries in the world, to date some 12,000 bones have been excavated, representing at least 70 different animals and two new species.
