Abstract

The overall goal of this study is to establish a stratigraphic, sedimentologic, and geochronologic framework for the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation within Dinosaur National Monument and to tie that framework to the rest of the Colorado Plateau and other important vertebrate fossil-bearing localities in the western United States. The study is also intended to complement ongoing paleontological inventories of the Morrison Formation within Dinosaur National Monument (DNM).
