Description
but a critter died here. You can see a fossil in the rock near the western town of Fruita near the Colorado National Monument. The quarry on Dinosaur Hill is where a 70 foot long Apatosaurus was excavated by Elmer Riggs and his crew in 1901. Riggs was an Assistant Curator of Paleontology at the Field Museum in Chicago.
Apatosaurus is a genus that includes the popular synonym Brontosaurus, a sauropod dinosaur that lived from about 154 to 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period within the 600-foot-thick Morrison Formation. It was one of the largest land animals known to have ever existed, with an average length of 75 feet and a mass of at least 16 metric tons. This skeleton is now displayed at the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History.
A tunnel was blasted into the hillside where many bones of the dinosaur's skeleton were recovered. The tunnel was reopened in 1991 by a team of paleontologists who found an additional set of tail bones called chevrons.
Some digital effects were applied to the original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the Fine Art America watermark.
