Inside Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur QuarryWhat To See And Do: Your visit to Jurassic Utah begins at Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry! A juvenile-sized Allosaurus fragilis mount grins at you as you round the corner into the main body of the visitor center. Dinosaur bones and replicas are all over the place. An eight foot tall Camarasaurus lentus leg replica is propped against a pillar holding up the roof. A glass case holds more bones, gastroliths, and some vicious looking teeth. A map covers most of the wall between two window casements. Thousands of bones are depicted in it. The opposite wall has a colorful mural of life and death 147 million years before us. Outside of the visitor center you can visit the active quarry and take an easy hike to see dinosaur bones in the rock!
