The quarry contains dinosaurs of the Jurassic Morrison Formation, like those at Dinosaur National Monument. Allosaurus skeletons have been found in great abundance here, justifying the Allosaurus' designation as Utah's State Fossil. Mounted skeletons cast from Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaurs are found in museums worldwide. The quarry is located about 30 miles south of Price on a signed route over graded dirt roads. The road is normally accessible to passenger vehicles, but may be slippery when wet. A map and brochure are available at the Price BLM office listed above.
