Utah's own unique dinosaur species Utahraptor is now on display at BYU’s Museum of Paleontology. The unique specimen, cast from bones in the BYU collection, represents one of the most complete Utahraptor skeletons ever found. Utahraptor, which lived 125 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous Period, was the world’s largest Dromaeosaurid “raptor.” Some speculate that Dromeaeusaurs, which are considered the closest to the ancestral line of birds, may have been covered in feathers. The first Utahraptor bones were unearthed in 1975 by BYU professor “Dinosaur Jim” Jensen at Dalton Wells Quarry near Moab, Utah. BYU has an extensive collection of bones from Utahraptor, some 350 bones and teeth representing 11 different individuals ranging from 3 to 14 feet in length. In 2018, the Utah State Legislature is considering a proposal to make Utahraptor the official state dinosaur. • The BYU Museum of Paleontology is located at 1683 N. Canyon Road in Provo, Utah, across from LaVell Edwards Stadium on the BYU campus. Museum admission is free but hours are limited – see http://geology.byu.edu/museum/ for more information.
