Publisher's Summary:
On the edge of Fruita, Colorado, scattered through a half square mile of red and gray rock, is one of the richest Jurassic boneyards anywhere. Over the years paleontologists have excavated the remains of a beautifully-preserved Ceratosaurus, the bones of at least six Allosaurus strewn together in death, and other Jurassic classics from this pocket of geological riches. But the most magnificent fossils to come out of the Fruita Paleo Area arent giants like Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus. What makes this 150-million-year old spot so special is that it contains an exquisite record of Jurassic life at a much smaller scale.
