Overview

Hype:

The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site is a fossil site and museum in Saint George, Utah. The museum preserves thousands of dinosaur footprints right at the original site of discovery. The best preserved and most numerous tracks today form the in-place trackway and exhibits of the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site. Many other fossils including bones of dinosaurs and fish, shells of small aquatic animals, and leaves and seeds of plants, have joined the footprints, enabling paleontologists to reconstruct the nearly 200 million-year-old ecosystem preserved here with unprecedented clarity, an extreme rarity for rocks of any time period.
