26 Stokesosaurus, a recently discovered and described Utah dinosaur, to date known only from the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry, has a peculiar ilium (hip bone) that exhibits a small, vertical ridge at midlength of the outer surface. Sometimes a single character, such as this, is the only clue to the identity of a particular dinosaur, which allows scientists to separate it from other similar types.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n064
27 A medial view of the premaxillae of a Marshosaur (left) with 4 teeth and Allosaur (right) with 5 teeth. These are important, taxonomic differences.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n067
28 This is a close-up photograph of a sample from the locality, where dinosaur "stomach contents" were described over three decades ago. Scientists now re-examining the site suspect that it may be a fairly large mat of fossilized vegetation, including wood fragments and seeds, and containing the bones of the sauropod dinosaur, Camarasaurus.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n068
29 Rarely, tiny dinosaur tracks, such as these, are recovered from the coal mines of Carbon and Emery Counties in east-central Utah. Dinosaur bones are usually found in one area or formation and tracks in another, but rarely are the two ever found together. Tridactyl (three-toed) tracks have been found in the rocky ledges above the C-LDQ horizon, but they were not in association with any fossil bones as found in the Quarry. One expert supposes that these tracks were made by a Stegosaur.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n069
30 Three-dimensional, life-size models are very popular in many dinosaur exhibits around the world. Among the best are those to be seen at the Utah Fieldhouse of Natural History, a museum in Vernal, Utah. Triceratops is seen in the foreground of this photograph taken shortly after a Utah winter snow storm.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n070
31 Another impressive, full-scale, life-like reproduction of a Morrison Formation dinosaur is the fiberglass model of Stegosaurus at Dinosaur National Monument near Jensen, Utah. The breathtaking Quarry exhibits of fossil bones exposed there are world famous and dinosaur paleontologists and tourists come from almost every country to see them.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n071
32 These chilly dinosaur models: Ceratosaurus, Stegosaurus, and a juvenile Camarasaurus are near the Main Street or south entrance of the Utah Fieldhouse of Natural History in the Vernal City Park. This is the work of Malin Foster, a Utah sculptor. They were unveiled in the 1950s and have stood well the test of time.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n072
33 This is the head skeleton and neck of Allosaurus presented in a formal garden setting by the generous lady who purchased the metal buildings, which now protect the C-LDQ excavation.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n073
34 A life-like reconstruction (Trophy Mount) by David Thomas of the head and shoulders of Allosaurus was prepared over a welded armature supporting exact casts of the original bones. The muscles, then the skin, were sculpted in turn to achieve a very life-like representation.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n074
35 A full scale model of this life-like Allosaurus may now be seen in one of Utah's Museums. This 1:24 bronze scale model and the life-size replica were done by sculptor, David Thomas.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n075
36 Full scale replicas of two Allosaurus sculpted by David Thomas, a well- known dinosaur artist who worked in Albuquerque, New Mexico.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n076
37 A full scale Pentaceratops is the companion bronze statue to Albertosaurus at the entrance of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History in Albuquerque. Pentaceratops is known from the Cretaceous formations of Alberta, Canada and New Mexico.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n077
38 This life-size restoration in bronze of Albertosaurus, a common flesh- eating dinosaur from the badlands of Alberta, Canada, was sculpted by David Thomas, a talented artist from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Albertosaurus is known from Utah by tracks and teeth collected from the coal mines in Carbon and Emery Counties, but as yet no bones have been found.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n078
39 A full scale model of Maiasaurus, the "Good Mother Dinosaur", by artist Dave Thomas, was commissioned by the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, MT.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n079
40 Dinosaur statuary by Utah artist, Gary Prazen, may be seen at the entrance to the College of Eastern Utah, Prehistoric Museum in Price City, Utah. The piece depicts dinosaurs "dining", but has been informally titled "Dinosaur love".P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n080
41 This fine mural was commissioned by the B.Y.U. Earth Science Museum and prepared by a noted Texas wildlife artist, Doris Tischler. The scene depicts the composite flora and fauna of Late Jurassic time in Utah as recorded in the sediments of the Morrison Formation from several Colorado Plateau localities.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n081
42 A poster attesting to the popularity of traveling dinosaur exhibits in Japan. The three digits on the manus suggest Allosaurus as the subject.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n082
43 The cast skeleton of Diplodocus carnegii guarded the Dinosaur Garden at the Utah Fieldhouse of Natural History State Park in Vernal for nearly three decades. It was taken down, remodeled, and remolded in 1989. Now a new mount has been presented inside the UFNHSP.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n085
44 A death pose of an original, composite skeleton of Camarasaurus and Stegosaurus from the C-LDQ may be seen at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum in the city of Price, Utah. Two skeletons at CEUPM are mounted in a huge sandbox, an inexpensive exhibit, which allows easy access to the individual fossil bones for research or study.P1048 James H. Madsen Photograph CollectionP1048n086
