Fossil Point Dinosaur Bones

Led by: Georgia Knauss

Fossil Point is an extraordinary fossil locality where boulders yield large dinosaur bones from the Jurassic Era, dating as far back as 145 million years ago.

A short drive from Green River, this site is home to large dinosaur vertebrae, leg bones, and fantastic views of the La Sals and Henry Mountains.

This half-day field trip is an excellent option for able-bodied adults and families with elementary-school-aged children and up.

  • Vehicles with some clearance are required. The last mile of road contains a rocky stretch. 

  • Participation at the site requires scrambling up a steep slope to view dinosaur bones in boulders scattered among the slope.

    Bring lunch, water, sturdy shoes, binoculars, camera, and snacks.
