The BLM-UT is offering this grant to continue a critical project focused on the protection and documentation of significant dinosaur fossil specimens within the Kaiparowits Formation of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). This grant is for the purpose of safeguarding invaluable paleontological resources for public enjoyment and scientific research. Phase one involves extensive pedestrian field surveys to identify and document all scientifically important sites in specific target areas. Subsequently, phase two will focus on the collection of the highest significance sites, ensuring their salvage. The project concludes with a comprehensive analysis to provide recommendations for future resource management, including inventory strategies and site plans for bonebeds or other continuously productive localities.
