Dinosaur National Monument, Vernal, UT

Quick chat with Ranger Molly at Dinosaur National Monument in Vernal, UT. Such a cool place!


All of the rock layers at the park are sedimentary layers, the oldest being over 1 billion years old! The rocks in the picture below are 150 million years old where they find lots of dinosaur bones.



The museum houses many dinosaur fossils. Much of the landscape in the wall mural doesn't exist today, but it's fun to see on the wall!









Our students had a lot of questions about dinosaurs - who doesn't love them?

"Dinosaurs haven't really gone extinct," says Ranger Molly. She's speaking of the avian dinosaurs (birds) that still exist on the earth today.








Here's a picture of a dinosaur skull just in case you haven't seen one lately 😉:


Ranger Molly climbed the wall for us to show us more fossils. Such a cool experience!! Thanks for a fun and informational call!!!
