Quarry Exhibit Hall

This picture of the Quarry Exhibit Hall was taken at Dinosaur National Monument off Route 149 about seven miles North of Jensen, Utah.  The Dinosaur National Monument actually overlaps two different states, Utah where the Quarry Exhibit Hall resides and the scenic ride of the Colorado Plateau where the Green and Yampa Rivers deeply cut into rocks that reveal sheer cliffs and mysterious canyons on the Colorado side.  The actual bones are still preserved and protected on the Mountain face inside the Hall.  I still find it hard that for over 150 million years ago, these fossils of bones can still be recovered much less actually exist.
