This sounds wonderful. Utah Reps. Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz are proposing designating the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry as a national monument and upgrading Dinosaur National Monument to national park status.
Interestingly, most of us are not even aware of the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry in Emery County, despite the significance of its having the world's densest concentration of Jurassic-aged dinosaur bones. Giving it national park or monument status will provide exposure. Likewise, upgrading Dinosaur National Monument near Vernal to park status will bring more attention to it.
These are ways of developing our tourism resources and preserving our natural treasures. Kudos to Reps. Bishop and Chaffetz.
