Lions and tigers and bears...oh my! I warned you there were dinosaurs on the loose around here. As it turns out, Vernal sits amidst some of the most spectacular geologic and paleonotologic resources on earth, all within an 80 mile area. Yesterday we toured Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum and were highly impressed with the 2.7 billion years of history revealed in rocks, fossils and dinosaur bones on display...some you can even touch. I didn't have time to paint today since we are on the road all day driving to the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole but here are a few photos from the museum.

WOW what a cool slice of time that area has to offer. We could definitely spend an entire holiday there...it's like the earth's Smithsonian! Thank you for stopping, I only hope it was for you and not because you felt obligated.
ReplyDeleteP.S. kissing dinosaurs has been linked to spontaneous dismemberment.
P.S.S. Grandave With Mammoth is the funniest photo I have ever seen.
