Monument Quarry Exhibit Aims at Public Tours
Visitors may roam a balcony and view fossils from the quarry area as a stairway leads to the main floor. They can watch fossil prep in the preparation room, learn quarry history, and read exhibits about prehistoric monsters and native flora and fauna. A lobby offers pamphlets and directions to other monuments, while staff guide tours during ongoing construction.
Improved Facilities Loom At Dinosaur National Monument
Dinosaur National Monument will gain major improvements under Mission 66 with about 2.4 million dollars for roads and trails and 1.7 million for buildings and utilities. A new quarry visitor center will showcase dinosaur bones in a 180 by 80 by 55 foot glass-faced exhibit hall, while parking, ramps, lighting, and interpretive facilities expand for up to 200,000 annual visitors.
