9-ton rock full of dinosaur bones still yielding fossils

A retired couple in Pennsylvania is now trying to energize the fundraising effort. The two dinosaur enthusiasts previously donated $50,000 to the cause. Now they’re offering an additional $50,000 as a matching grant if other donors kick in the same amount. The pile of fossilized bones was discovered 20 years ago on a rocky slope near Moab. “It’s certainly one of the most amazing things that I’ve ever seen in my career,” Don DeBlieux of the Utah Geological Survey said in June of 2013. That was just after scientists and volunteers encased a big chunk of the rock in a protective jacket of plaster and burlap. They subsequently hauled the rock to the Wasatch Front and began the effort to puzzle out its ancient contents.

Most of the 2.6 million increase in park visitation occurred in the summer months, according to the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation. The state’s lake parks near urban areas, such as Willard Bay and Jordanelle, and parks near state borders, such as Sand Hollow and Bear Lake, accounted for most of the gains.
