An interesting Late Jurassic vertebrate fossil locality in the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation, about 3 miles northwest of the West Entrance of the Monument and about 3 miles southwest of Fruita, was discovered in June 1975 by George Callison, Associate Professor of Biology and Research Associate in Vertebrate Paleontology at the California State University at Long Beach. During the summers of 1975 and 1976 Dr. Callison and his assistants removed the closely associated skeletal remains of many small, primitive mammals and both small and large dinosaurs and other reptiles. Part of the results were presented in an unpublished manuscript.[28] During the summer of 1977 and later, additional mammalian fossils were removed by Callison and assistants and additional reptilian fossils were removed by Lance Erickson, paleontologist of the Historical Museum and Institute of Western Colorado (fig. 2). Hopefully, the work will be continued with the aid of grants from several sources. [Illustration: EXCAVATING TYPE SPECIMEN OF _BRACHIOSAURUS ALTITHORAX_ RIGGS from south side of Riggs Hill.

(Fig. 22)] The locality, which covers parts of about 180 acres of public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management, has been fenced and posted to discourage vandalism, and has been designated the Fruita Paleontological Area. In order to evaluate the importance of the locality and to make plans for its future development and protection, the Bureau of Land Management held the Fruita Paleontological Workshop on March 28-30, 1977, to which were invited several renowned vertebrate paleontologists and archaeologists together with interested local personnel of the Bureau, the National Park Service, and the Museum. All remarks and prepared speeches were taken down by a shorthand reporter and were reproduced for the attendees in the 83 page unpublished “The Fruita Paleontological Report.” [Illustration: SKELETONS OF TYPICAL DINOSAURS OF MORRISON FORMATION.[29] _A_, _Camptosaurus_, a small dinosaur about 11 feet long; _B_, _Apatosaurus_, a gigantic dinosaur about 76 feet long; _C_, _Allosaurus_, a large carnivorous dinosaur about 30 feet long; and _D_, _Stegosaurus_, a large armored dinosaur about 24 feet long.
