Dinosaur Graveyard
US Highway 30/287 at the Carbon/Albany County line

The bluff lying 1.3 miles to the north is Como Ridge, just beyond the crest of which lies ‘The Dinosaur Graveyard”, one of the greatest fossil beds of dinosaur skeletons in the world. One of the largest skeletons ever unearthed, measuring 70 feet in length, was taken from this fossil bed. Hundreds of dinosaur skeletons and the bones of early mammals were unearthed and shipped from this area between 1880 and 1890. These dinosaurs lived from about one hundred million to two hundred million years ago.
