We did the Fossil Discovery Trail from the Visitor Center at Dinosaur National Monument this morning. It is about 2 miles round trip.
We found some petroglyphs along the trail.
There are some interesting rock formations along this trail, besides the fossils.
This boulder has some large fossilized fish scales on it.
There were quite a few fossils on the spur trail of the Morrison Formation:
Most exciting is the vertebrae of a dinosaur up in the cliff wall.

Some shell fossils in the stump formation area:
