Dinosaur Fossils

Today we visited Dinosaur National Monument. The vast park has many archeological dig sites where scientists have discovered thousands of dinosaur fossils from a wide range of species. We went to the visitor center and the quarry exhibit hall. In the quarry exhibit hall, they've basically just put a roof over an exposed cliff where hundreds of dinosaur fossils are partially exposed. We were even allowed to touch a few of the fossils. Also on display were nearly-complete fossil skeletons of Allosaurus (like a small t-rex) and a juvenile Camarasaurus.
