Dually noted. We’re going to Utah this summer in part to see in part some dinosaur stuff (or is it more like me dragging them? eh, who cares!). I look to be seeing dinosaur tracks at Red Fleet State Park and maybe Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (my map has a spot on a trail as labeled “dinosaur track site”).

In fact, J.S. Newberry discovered the first Utah dinosaur fossils. The bones were those of Dystrophaeus. The discovery was made on August 17, 1859 near Moab Utah.

Have you visited the Klondike Bluffs tracks? North of Moab, east of the airport. The tracks are concentrated where the white sandstone meets the overlaying soft mudstone strata. If I understand correctly, this layer contains tracks over a vast area of southeast Utah and into Colorado.
