Paleontologists Through The Ages

The Carnegie Quarry that we see today at Dinosaur National Monument is the culmination of over 100 years of work by many people from a variety of backgrounds. Known as paleontologists, scientists who study fossils have come to the area to study the rich fossil and geologic resources of the area.
