The Green River and Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area in SW Wyoming and NE Utah is supposed to be the widest time-spanning paleontology fossil area in the world but I'll be darn if I can find a single book about it. Anyone have any suggestions? Geological books are numerous but from what I've read it seems like they're trying to keep the fossil evidence under lock-and-key so as not to be disturbed - and that's great! But I'll be going up there next month and would like to have some type of field guide to innocently explore around with my "leave-no-trace" dogma. Anyone want to contribute anything that they might know about this site?

hmm, try and stay away from farmed areas, as the fossils would either be dug up already, or deep. otherwise, I have no idea about that stuff.

Thanks guys but I found my source.

It's called The Intermountain Natural History Association at www.inhaweb.com. They have all the information that I was looking for and I just ordered five books. Ready to go up there in two weeks.

That's my old stomping ground. Just south of Salt Lake City, just a few miles south of Point of the Mountain, is that new botanical garden called Thanksgiving Point. Alongside the freeway they've also developed a new dinosaur museum in conjunction with it that I've not yet visited. You might want to check that out when you're in that area.

I found what I was looking for via way of the Dinosaurland Visitor Center who put me in touch with the Intermountain Natural History Association at www.inhaweb.com .
I ordered four books on the Flaming Gorge and Fossil Butte Area and will be heading up there in two weeks for a couple of days. The problem is that a lot of these specialized books aren't available online but you can always find them at the museums or visitor center bookstores. Flaming Gorge and Fossil Butte are north and northwest of Dinosaur Nat'l Monument, respectively. 30 miles north of Vernal, Utah.
