1 Test holes were carefully dug by hand to determine the vertical and lateral dimension of the fossiliferous unit in the Quarry. Subsequently, drill holes confirmed the suspicion that the bones do not extend very far beyond the confines of the metal buildings that now cover and protect the Quarry. The buildings are an absolute necessity to protect the exposed fossils from both vandalism, the harsh winter weather of east-central Utah, and theft.P1048 James H.

2 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
3 The steel buildings, assembled over the unexcavated Quarry surface in 1979, were an important addition; because they afforded protection from both vandalism and the weather. They were long overdue improvements making it no longer necessary to re-excavate the quarry at the beginning of the field season and then cover it again at the conclusion of work in the late summer.P1048 James H.
