The objective of this study is to establish a stratigraphic, sedimentologic, and geochronologic framework of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation within Dinosaur National Monument, and to tie this framework to the rest of the Colorado Plateau and other important fossil-bearing localities. The study is designed to complement ongoing paleontological inventories of the Morrison Formation within the Monument. During the first field season, emphasis was placed on beginning detailed stratigraphic and sedimentologic work and the collection of samples for various types of analyses.

Dinosaur National Monument (DINO) encompasses an area that has rocks with a high potential for preservation of vertebrate trace fossils, especially dinosaur tracks. The purpose of this research is to document the presence, type, and distribution of vertebrate trace fossils in Mesozoic rocks exposed in DINO. These rocks include the Moenkopi Formation, Chinle/Popo Agie Formation, Glen Canyon Sandstone, Carmel Formation, Entrada Sandstone, Morrison Formation, Cedar Mountain Formation, Dakota Formation, and Frontier Formation. This study will increase our knowledge of the stratigraphic and geographic distribution of vertebrate tracks as well as provide taxonomic, behavioral, and paleoenvironmental data. During the 1990 field season, reconnaissance of the western part of DINO revealed the presence of vertebrate trace fossils in the Chinle/Popo Agie Formation. In addition, our examination of the Moenkopi Formation suggests that vertebrate tracks are probably present in this unit. Locality information was also obtained for probable track-sites in the Carmel Formation, Entrada Sandstone, and Morrison Formation.
