Abstract:
Dr. Zanno, Director of the Paleontology & Geology Research Laboratory at the NC Museum of Natural Science, explains the significance and findings at the dinosaur burial ground at the Crystal Geyser Quarry in Utah. Over 125 million years ago nearly 300 feathered dinosaurs (Falcarius utahensis) died and were buried in a single mass grave. It is one of the largest feathered dinosaur graveyards known anywhere in the world.
