Excerpt from Planning and Civic Comment, Vol. 16: March, 1950 The Dinosaur National Monu ment which is now threatened by the proposed Split Mountain and Echo Park dams, is unique in that it not only preserves a quarry where dinosaur remains have been found, but it includes an area of spectacular interest where, with interpretive guidance, visitors may see on a grand scale the geomorphic processes characteristic of the Grand Canyon region, by which a super imposed river has cut through Split Mountain and a whole series of mountains. Here the observer may form a concept of the age-old proc esses that have shaped the great spectacular features of the Colorado River, including the Grand Canyon. As an educational exhibit of nat ural forces the area cannot be duplicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
