English: Partial skeleton of a young hadrosaur (about 25 feet long), exhibited at the en:Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, shown in a series of images. Images are not stitched owning to an inconsistent viewpoint, with photos taken while walking along the display.
These are the actual bones of a dinosaur excavated on the
Monument in 2000 and 2001. Displayed here are most of the tail
bones, the left pelvis, and portions of the left leg. 72 million years
ago, the living animal was a 25-foot-long adolescent similar in
shape to the Parasurolophus in the courtyard, but without the
tube-like crest.
Preservation of this animal is among the best known anywhere.
The bones and delicate tendons are still in their connected
positions. Amazingly, impressions of the skin were found still
attached to the skeleton. Site evidence indicates that the
complete animal was fossilized, but much of its body was
lost through erosion and illegal collection. Specimens like
these are extraordinary sources of information abount these
magnificent giants.
Paleontologists continue to make such discoveries in the
Monument, assuring iits place of prominence in our quest to
understand the animals and events of the Late Cretaceous.
