Why Dinosaurs Were Found Near Moab
Millions of years ago, the landscape around Moab looked very different from the desert we see today.
During the Jurassic Period, much of what is now eastern Utah was covered by rivers, floodplains, and lush vegetation. These environments supported a wide variety of dinosaurs, from massive plant-eating sauropods to fast-moving predators that roamed the region.
Over time, layers of sediment buried the bones, footprints, and other traces left behind by these prehistoric animals. As the sediment hardened into rock, the fossils were preserved inside the stone formations that make up much of the landscape around Moab today.
Erosion over millions of years slowly exposed these fossils, allowing scientists to discover dinosaur bones and tracks throughout the region. In fact, eastern Utah is now considered one of the most important dinosaur fossil areas in North America.
The exhibits at Moab Giants Dinosaur Museum help visitors understand this ancient world and the incredible discoveries that continue to reveal what life was like when dinosaurs ruled the land.
Start Your Dinosaur Adventure in Moab
Moab Giants is the perfect starting point for exploring the region’s incredible prehistoric history.
The museum sits along the famous Dinosaur Diamond Scenic Byway, a 486-mile route that connects some of the most important dinosaur fossil sites in the American West. Travelers following this route can visit world-class museums, fossil quarries, and active dig sites across Utah and Colorado.
After exploring Moab Giants, many visitors continue their dinosaur adventure at nearby Utah Raptor State Park, located just up the road from Moab Giants. The park protects several important fossil discoveries and features interpretive exhibits that tell the story of the famous Utahraptor, one of the largest raptors ever discovered.
Together, Moab Giants, Utah Raptor State Park, and the Dinosaur Diamond Scenic Byway create one of the most fascinating dinosaur experiences anywhere in the country. For families and dinosaur enthusiasts, it’s an unforgettable way to explore the prehistoric past of the American Southwest.
