Saint George, Utah - Dinosaur Discovery - Unearthed Tracks

A beautiful new museum building now houses a large part of the Dinosaur Discovery tracks collection, including a large section of in-place trackway, and keeps the visitor cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The addition of informational videos, changing temporary displays, a working fossil prep lab, and additional informational labeling regarding the many unique track types found here make this a "must see" when in the area. Try to make time to go through with a guide as they can explain the unique features of this site much better than any brochure! [Jim, 05/29/2009]

Don't miss the [St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm] east of I-15 in St. George, Utah. At the north end of this blazing hot desert town in southwest Utah is a large collection of newly unearthed dinosaur tracks shaded by a tin roof with a misting system [since replaced by an air-conditioned building] and cordial volunteers explaining how the tractor turned over the rocks to disclose these ancient wonders.

[RA: Thousands of dino tracks were discovered here in 1999 by Sheldon Johnson, a retired optometrist, who was cleaning up the land for resale at the time.]
