Where can I find more information about dinosaurs?
Your local museums, public libraries, and bookstores are good places to start.
Some national monuments (Dinosaur National Monument, UT and CO), national parks
(Petrified Forest National Park, AZ), and state parks (for example, Dinosaur
Valley State Park, TX) have outstanding displays. State geological surveys also
have or can provide information on nearby dinosaur exhibits. The references below
will help you get started; they provided some of the information for this
