"Amazing  dinosaur discovery"
"Utah site yields first Cretaceous-era sauropod skulls  ever in N. America"
  By Joe Bauman
Deseret Morning News, May 30, 2005
      "About a dozen sauropod skulls are known  from the Jurassic era, the 
great middle period of dinosaur life. But for the  Cretaceous, the final 80 
million years of the rule of dinosaurs, no sauropod  skulls have been known 
from 
North America.
Until now.
Over the past few years, experts at  Dinosaur National Monument on the 
Utah-Colorado border and at Brigham Young  University have quietly worked on an 
astonishing four sauropod skulls or parts  of skulls, found close to each other 
at 
the monument."
