Quarry Visitor Center, Paleontology museum in Uintah County, United States.
The Quarry Visitor Center displays over 1,500 dinosaur fossils embedded in rock walls, allowing visitors to examine preserved Late Jurassic period specimens.
Earl Douglass discovered this fossil site in 1909, leading to excavations that recovered 700,000 pounds of bones and established Dinosaur National Monument in 1915.
The center reflects Mission 66 program architectural principles from the 1950s, integrating modern design with natural landscape preservation objectives.
The facility operates daily from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, featuring exhibits, an information desk, research spaces, and laboratory areas for paleontological studies.
Visitors can observe actual dinosaur bones in their original excavation positions, including specimens from Allosaurus, Diplodocus, and Stegosaurus species.
