Dinosaur National Monument in Vernal, Utah
“Dinosaur National Monument is unlike any other place in the world. Early on, visitors were drawn to the area by the huge number of dinosaur fossils. The dinosaur quarry is home to one of the largest natural displays of exposed dinosaur bones anywhere. The dinosaur find brought my family to the Vernal, UT region in the early 1900s. My great grandfather was a wagon master who hauled fossils to the railway for shipment to the Carnegie Museum. My great uncle Roy “Pop” Kay was a world-famous Paleontologist. He specialized in the miniature dinosaurs of the Jurassic time-period. He loved to study the mouse-sized dinosaur fossils found throughout the Vernal, Utah area.’
