At the Top of the Grand Staircase : the Late Cretaceous of Southern Utah /
The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is the location of one of the best-known terrestrial records for the late Cretaceous. Prior fieldwork confirmed the richness of the area, but a major effort begun in the early twenty-first century has documented over 2,000 new vertebrate fossil sites,...
