• AN ON-LINE DINOSAUR SITE GUIDE (COLORADO PLATEAU) There is now an online guide to dinosaur sites found in the region around Grand Junction, Colorado. This site includes information about trackways (such as those found around Moab), quarries (Dinosaur National Monument), and Museums and links to available web sites of these Colorado Plateau localities.
• Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry is one of the world's foremost dinosaur fossil sources. More than 30 complete skeletons, 12,000 individual bones and several dinosaur eggs have come from this prolific fossil bed. Today, at the Visitor Center you can see a complete Allosaur skeletal reconstruction and a Stegosaur wall mount. At the quarry you view the work in progress in a covered building, where you can see actual bones in place. Recognized worldwide as the primary source of flesh-eating Allosaur skeletons, the quarry was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1966.
• Dinosaurs of the Colorado Plateau  Part of the Dinosaur Web web site. This site is just getting started but this should be an excellent source of dinosaur information for the dinosaur rich area of the Colorado Plateau. Information of special interest to those wanting to visit sites includes:

     • Dinosaur Quarries on the Colorado Plateau
     • The Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry
       Emery County, Utah
     • The Dalton Wells Dinosaur Quarry
       Grand County, Utah. The site of a major scientific research project near Moab, Utah ó is extraordinarily rich not only in the quantity of dinosaur bones but also in the number of different types of dinosaurs preserved, several of which are new to science.

• Dinosaur Provincial Park In Alberta, Canada. The source of many of the fossil specimens in the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Much field research on dinosaurs is done there, and some areas are open for the public to explore and hike through.
• DINOTOUR is an educational, non-profit travel group based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Every year since 1991, the volunteer organizers have put together a trip to museums and field sites of interest to adult dinosaur enthusiasts. Their onboard educational leader is Dr. Philip Currie, who accompanies all trips as scientific advisor. Dr. Currie, one of the world foremost dinosaur paleontologists, is Curator of Dinosaurs at the the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada, and co-editor of the recent Academic Press publication Encyclopedia of Dinosaurs.
• Dinosaur Valley Museum - the Museum of Western Colorado's paleontology center - is a working paleontology laboratory which features fossils from important discoveries throughout western Colorado and eastern Utah. You will see dinosaur skeletons, articulated and in "death pose" as paleontologists found them. And you will see remarkably realistic, scientific, half-size animated dinosaur replicas: moving, roaring, and howling.
• Bosco's RockPile
• Dinosaur National Monument Various web sites with information about this famous dinosaur location. Check them all out!
  • Dinosaur National Monument. The largest quarry of Jurassic Period dinosaur bones ever discovered is on this site 20 miles east of Vernal. On August 17, 1909, paleontologist Earl Douglas discovered thousands of dinosaur bones, including several nearly complete skeletons, in the northeastern corner of Utah. A quarry was built on the site and it was designated a national monument in 1915. A year-round visitor center has been built over the quarry to protect the fossilized dinosaur bones and skeletons. Over 2,000 dinosaur bones are exposed in the sandstone wall. Many complete skeletons have also been recovered and are exhibited in museums throughout the nation. Visitors can watch paleontologists chip away the sandstone to expose the fossilized dinosaur bones. Visitors can also see the preparation laboratory where dinosaur fossils are cleaned and preserved. This is the most productive Jurassic Period dinosaur quarry in the world, providing more complete skeletons, skulls, and bones of dinosaurs than any other quarry.
  • Dinosaur National Monument 4545 Highway 40, Dinosaur, CO 81610 (970) 374-3000. Another web site with information about Dinosaur National Monument is the legacy of rivers, past and present. Here, preserved in the sands of an ancient river, is a time capsule from the world of dinosaurs: the fossil bone deposit that gives the park its name. The Dinosaur Quarry has revealed many secrets of the past, but the remote and rugged land around it, created by today's rivers, is a secret of the present, known to few travelers.
  • Dinosaur National Monument. Official page of National Park Service. Has more information about the monument, and its services. Dinosaur National Monument is a diamond in the desert. The diversity of this diamond in the desert is so striking, so surprising to the unprepared, that they are often disappointed they have not allowed more time to experience Dinosaur. A week is not too much time to allow to experience the sparkle of this diamond. The park was created in 1915 for the unmatched deposit of Jurassic dinosaur bones. The unique natural exhibit of over 1600 dinosaur bones, in their final resting place, were deposited in an ancient river bed turned to stone. Today remnants of that deposit form one wall of the Dinosaur Quarry Visitor Center.
