In this episode of the Rocks of Utah we explore the Jurassic Morrison Formation, Utah's most famous and well studied rock layer. We will visit Dinosaur National Monument in Jensen, Utah, and find dinosaurs in eastern Utah.
The Rocks of Utah is a RU-vid series that explores the unique geology of Utah, and hosted by Benjamin Burger a geology professor at Utah State University Uintah Basin Campus in Vernal, Utah.

Utah and western Colorado are beautiful. My brother lives in Grand Junction, Co. I have been to the Dinosaur National Monument twice and would highly recommend seeing it. Rabbit Valley is another place to see dinosaur bones along the trail.

Thank you very much Benjamin. I️’ve been significantly studying geology off of RU-vid. Your videos have been absolutely helpful.

One of the best videos I have seen on this subject. Grew up on the front range of southern Colorado near a small band of the Morrison formation. Great explanation of the local area and in a time of doubt this solidified my love of this geologic period and the treasures within. Thank you, subscribing and sharing!

Thanks for this content - really interesting and informative. I could watch you drive around and name formations and talk about depositional regimes for as long as you're willing to talk.

Really interesting stuff. Thanks so much.

Neat that fossils were found on a hike. I could only image being a kid on such a path! Rare to find anything here in the Basalt region of the inland North west

I feel you. In the part of BC where i live it's mostly felsic phaneritic rock. The glacial features can be pretty cool, but there's only so much diorite a man can see before it gets a little boring. I would have to go to the interior or further east into the Rockies to see any worthwhile sedimentary.

Awesome. Thanks!

Speaking about the Morrison Formation, it would be interesting you went to the Lourinhã Formation(it's from the same time and has many of the same genera of animals, but different species, which is quite interesting). It's not that far away from you... just need to cross the Atlantic ocean ;)

Do a video about if we could clone dinosaurs!!!

The moment it took me to realize Fm. meant formation and not f.m. radio

YOu guys gonna dig 'er out of the rock! Please tell me you guys are gonna dig the dinosaur out! I wanna see it!

@toddeftsadams5909 Год назад

When I see that formation I think look for agates.

What is a horizon. Why don't you tell where you are?

@richardmourdock2719 5 лет назад

As geologists ( I am one) use the phrase, an horizon is simply a sedimentary rock unit that is continuous over a relatively large area and most importantly, marks a unit of time. Important to note it does not have to be horizontal today as it may have been uplifted, tilted, or even folded, since originally being deposited horizontally almost always on a sea floor.

More rocks, less selfie. Still great videos, I've been binging on you this evening. Loving it. Been to many of these places and it's so nice to be able to plug your narrative into my memories of walking those landscapes and wondering about those rocks, wishing I had a geologist along. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r4QEF2uZD6k.html - Here's a great compliment the image of time unfolding on our western USA landscape - Tracing the Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau by Ron Blakey & Wayne Ranney
