A story of vandalism with a happy ending for #FossilFriday
A couple of years ago, a sandstone boulder preserving dinosaur tracks in Price Canyon was graffitied. This boulder had fallen out of a nearby cliff and was placed at a popular pullout in the canyon by Utah DOT prior to the vandalism.

For International #DinosaurDay, here is a large ornithopod track we collected during filming of Walking With Dinosaurs!
Though we can’t tell the species of dinosaur that made a given footprint, we know it was an ornithopod because of its three rounded toes.

In April we prospected the Cretaceous Kaiparowits & Wahweap formations of Grand Staircase Escalante Natl Mon. We found fossils big and small, including #dinosaurs, crocs, turtles, and even a couple of bird bones!
