Produced by Stephen Hutcheson, Dave Morgan and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Dinosaur Quarry: Dinosaur National Monument, Colorado-Utah" by John M. Good et al. is a scientific publication written in the mid-20th century. The book explores the significance and history of Dinosaur National Monument, particularly focusing on the extensive fossil dinosaur bones found at the Dinosaur Quarry. Its main topic is the study of dinosaurs — their biology, the geology of the area, and the conditions under which these fossils were created and preserved. The content of the book delves into the discovery and excavation of dinosaur fossils at the quarry, detailing the distinct types of dinosaurs represented, such as "Apatosaurus" and "Stegosaurus". It discusses the geological formation of the area, the climatic conditions during the Jurassic period, and the complexities of fossilization that allowed the bones to be preserved over millions of years. Additionally, the book covers theories about the extinction of dinosaurs, the methods employed in the quarry's excavation, and the eventual establishment of Dinosaur National Monument as a protected site for scientific study and public education. Through both scientific data and historical accounts, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of this significant paleontological site and its role in understanding Earth’s prehistoric life.
