Re:Utahraptor quarry

According to my files, the quarry was discovered in Oct 1989
by Robert Gaston, an "amateur rockhound." His discovery material
was nodosaur scutes,which caught Jim Kirkland's attention
in a Moab rock shop. Later work at the site led to the discovery
of _Utahraptor_ at the site (Info from _The Rocky Mountain News_
out of Denver, Sat Oct 17 1992; part of long  article about the
discovery and _Utahraptor_) I visited this site last spring - 
"hillside quarry" and a howling wind lessened the enjoyment!
