You are here A sequence of snapshots in time spanning 500
million years depicts a range of Utah’s ancient environments and
their changing life forms. Utah’s Late Cretaceous and Eocene are
brought to life in displays that capture plant and animal
diversity, sights, sounds and smells of the time. Participate in
the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry mystery by “casting your
vote” on the theory you agree with most, be a paleontologist for
a day in our dinosaur dig, and be a guest at an Ice Age dinner
party. In this gallery there are over 30 skeletal
reconstructions on display, including a Gryposaurus (duck-
billed) dinosaur made of original fossil material, and the
world’s only display of 14 Ceratopsian (horned) dinosaur skulls.
Stop by and watch our staff and volunteers as they prepare
specimens for research and display in the Museum's active S.J.
and Jessie E. Quinney Foundation Paleontology Preparation Lab.
