Moenave Formation and bounding strata at St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS Section). Section measured by James I. Kirkland Sept. 20-22, 2001. It is important to note that much of the outcrop described here has either been highly modified or removed completely due to development in the area. Base of measured section (12S 274040 E 4108609 N) started 95 m southwest of the fork between Foremaster Drive and East Riverside Drive and crosses Foremaster Drive to west northwest (12 S 273842 E 4108675 N), where measured up to a prominent light green bleached zone (units 4, 5) below the first ripple-bedded sandstone ledge (unit 6) and then back-tracked down gully and describe most of unit below road. The combination of these beds and a 5 cm light greenish-gray zone 323 cm below were used to correlate to the north to the base of Jensen Ridge (Kirkland and Milner, 2006; Milner et al., 2012) located east of SGDS. Here, overlapping portions of the lower Dinosaur Canyon Member permitted these marker beds to be identified and correlated.

The Moenave Formation at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm
New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin, 2006
Extensive development in the St. George, Utah area resulted in the temporary exposure of fresh rock at and near the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS), facilitating examination and description of the Lower Jurassic stratigraphy of the vicinity in some detail. Since this study, construction has covered much of what we observed, making this the only detailed record of the Moenave Formation in the SGDS area. We measured a total thickness for the Moenave Formation of 73.97 m. The formation is divided into a lower Dinosaur Canyon Member (56.41 m thick) and upper Whitmore Point Member (17.56 m thick).
The story of the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm: An important new Lower Jurassic dinosaur tracksite from the Moenave Formation of southwestern Utah
Well-preserved theropod tracks from a newly discovered Lower Jurassic, Moenave Formation site in St. George Utah, are mostly assigned to the dinosaurian ichnogenera Eubrontes and Grallator, with some assigned to cf. Gigandipus, cf. Kayentapus, and Anomoepus. The non-dinosaurian ichnogenera Batrachopus and cf. Selenichnus are also reported. The ichnofauna is very similar to others from the region of southern Utah and other classic ichnofaunas of the same age from the eastern United States and elsewhere. However, their excellent preservation as deep natural casts, some with skin impressions, sheds new light on the configuration of the metatarsus and hallux of the Eubrontes trackmaker. One dinosaurian trackway (cf. Gigandipus) also reveals tail and squatting traces. The deep tracks also shed light on the mode of foot emplacement and withdrawal of the Grallator trackmaker, and the potential for theropods to produce undertracks with unusual morphologies that are not obviously theropodan. Parallel scrape or slide marks, usually in sets of three, and sometimes terminating in Grallator-like tracks, suggest dinosaurs that were slipping and sliding in the mud, or partially buoyed up by water. Although such traces are common at this site, they are essentially unique: i.e., similar examples are not known from other, contemporary sites. The paleogeographic and stratigraphic setting of the tracks suggests multiple track-making episodes in a marginal lacustrine setting. Body fossils include dinosaur teeth, a variety of fishes, ostracodes, and conchostracans. Sedimentary structures include abundant mud cracks, evaporite sulfate salt crystal casts, swales, miscellaneous ripple, scour, and flute marks, suggesting a NNE-SSW shoreline trend, perpendicular to paleo-depositional dip. Some tracks follow this trend, but many others are more or less randomly oriented. Following its discovery in early 2000, the site has generated extraordinary public and media interest, attracting more than 100,000 visitors annually, as well as significant funding from federal and state sources. As a result, by 2001, a non-profit organization – the “DinosaurAh!Torium” – was founded to help develop the site as a public education resource, and by 2005, the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS) was established as an interpretive site, complete with a protective, museum-style building constructed over the main track discovery site. Since the initial discovery, dozens of othernearby sites have also been found as a result of ongoing excavation and development. Many hundreds of large and small specimens from more than two dozen stratigraphic levels have been recovered and cataloged. In fewer than five years, the SGDS has become one of the three largest fossil footprint collections in the western United States.
The Significance of the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm: A Jurassic Konzentrat-Ichnolagerstätte, Utah, U.S.A
The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS) is an extensive Early Jurassic tracksite in southwestern Utah. The track-bearing horizon at the site is in the lower portion of the Whitmore Point Member of the Moenave Formation (Early Jurassic: Wassonian/Hettangian). It yields a rich ichnofauna dominated by Grallator cursorius and Eubrontes giganteus and including important specimens of Batrachopus deweyi. Other vertebrate ichnotaxa include ?Anomoepus ichnosp., ?Exocampe ichnosp. and Undichna ichnosp. Abundant dinosaur swimming traces, assigned to Characichnos ichnosp., are the most abundant and well-preserved dinosaur traces of this kind known. Track-bearing strata represent lacustrine and lake-margin paleoenvironments. The significance of tetrapod tracksites can be evaluated based upon their size, ichnotaxonomy, taphonomy, paleoecology, ichnofacies, geography, biogeography, stratigraphy, biostratigraphy, paleoenvironment, preservation, education, sociology and history. The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm is significant in several of these categories. Indeed, the Johnson Farm tracksite is so rich that it can be considered a Konzentrat-Ichnolagerstätte.
The Early Jurassic (Hettangian) LDS Dinosaur Tracksite from the Moenave Formation in St. George Utah
New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin, 2006
Early Jurassic (early Hettangian) dinosaur tracks, as well as invertebrate traces and bone material, are preserved in marginal lacustrine deposits of the Whitmore Point Member of the Moenave Formation near the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (SGDS), within St. George city limits in southwestern Utah. A laterally extensive, 30 cm thick, fine-grain sandstone bed deposited along the shores of ancient Lake Dixie contains hundreds of theropod dinosaur tracks, rare crocodylomorph tracks (cf. Batrachopus), Skolithos burrows, weathered bone fragments, and semionotid fish scales.
The Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation: An Interdisciplinary Study: Denver Museum of Natural History, Denver, USA: May 26-28, 1994
2006
Abstract—The Fruita Paleontological Research Natural Area (FPA) is remarkable for the abundance and diversity of Upper Jurassic terrestrial fossils preserved within an area of approximately one square kilometer. Taking advantage of the three-dimensional outcrop at the FPA, high-resolution event stratigraphic methodologies have been used to correlate the crevasse splays (flood deposits) and to evaluate the interrelationships of individual fossil sites to each other and to specific local environments. These include: (1) bank-controlled, gravelly, low-sinuosity river channels (ribbon sandstones facies), (2) clay-dominated levees with well-sorted, sandstone, proximal crevasse-splay complexes best developed at channel bends (levee facies), (3) drab, poorly-drained, alkaline flood plains with carbonate-cemented crevasse splays and poorly-developed paleosols (drab flood-plain facies), (4) well-oxidized, well-drained flood plains having well-developed paleosols with nodular carbonates (dark red flood-plain facies), (5) relatively permanent springfed ponds or marshes locally overlying channel thalwegs (pond/marsh facies), and (6) ephemeral alkaline flood-plain ponds characterized by barite nodules (alkaline pond facies). The distribution of active and abandoned channel-levee complexes controlled depositional base level within the flood-plain environments. The facies defining these environments also preserved distinctive suites of fossils: (1) ribbon sandstone facies preserve large dinosaurs, aquatic crocodilians, turtles, unionid bivalves, and isolated logs, (2) levee facies preserve dinosaur bones and diverse trace fossils, (3) drab flood-plain facies preserve evidence of dinosaur nests, diverse small terrestrial vertebrates, and diverse trace fossils associated with crevasse splays, (4) dark red flood-plain facies do not preserve significant body fossils, but preserve abundant root traces and other trace fossils, (5) pond/marsh facies preserve abundant carbonaceous plant materials, logs, aquatic invertebrates, fish, and dinosaurs, and (6) alkaline pond facies preserve small delicate fossils washed in from across the flood plain, including invertebrates, fish scales, and small terrestrial vertebrate fossils (many with intact skeletons). The conceptual framework described herein forms a basis for further research on the extraordinary natural laboratory preserved within the Morrison Formation at the FPA.
Origin of the Carnegie Quarry Sandstone (Morrison Formation, Jurassic) at Dinosaur National Monument, Jensen, Utah
PALAIOS, 2018
The Carnegie Quarry at Dinosaur National Monument was excavated in the Quarry Sandstone bed of the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation (Jurassic). The Quarry Sandstone is a discontinuous, lenticular, heterolithic unit that rests upon drab, greenish-gray claystones and is capped by reddish-brown mudstones. The underlying drab claystones are interpreted as being deposited in an overbank interfluvial wetland or lacustrine environment. By tracing the sandstone and studying detailed measured stratigraphic sections along its 1.8-km outcrop belt, this interval can be shown to be a complex of intergrading sandstone bodies and mudstone units. The Quarry Sandstone interval is reinterpreted as being deposited within a crevasse splay complex. The lowest part of this deposit is a laterally continuous, tabular unit composed of polymictic sandstone and granule conglomerate that directly overlies lacustrine claystones. This unit contains re-sedimented carbonate clasts from the surrounding Brushy Basin, displays a gradational to sharp basal contact, and is interpreted as the initial crevasse splay deposit. Overlying the tabular basal unit are numerous, laterally continuous, upward-coarsening sandstone bodies interpreted as distributary mouth bars. The interpreted distributary mouth bar deposits are cut by lenticular, trough crossbedded, upward fining sandstone units exhibiting erosional bases. These sandstone lenses are interpreted as distributary channels within the crevasse splay. They, in turn, are overlain by discontinuous sandstone bodies that interfinger with, and are overlain by reddish brown and variegated, rooted mudstones containing calcic paleosols. The Carnegie dinosaur quarry was excavated in one of the main distributary channels of this splay complex.

APPENDIX A
Moenave Formation and bounding strata at St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm
(SGDS Section).
Section measured by James I. Kirkland Sept. 20-22, 2001. It is important to note that much of the outcrop
described here has either been highly modified or removed completely due to development in the area.
Base of measured section (12S 274040 E 4108609 N) started 95 m southwest of the fork between
Foremaster Drive and East Riverside Drive and crosses Foremaster Drive to west northwest (12 S 273842
E 4108675 N), where measured up to a prominent light green bleached zone (units 4, 5) below the first
ripple-bedded sandstone ledge (unit 6) and then back-tracked down gully and describe most of unit below
road. The combination of these beds and a 5 cm light greenish-gray zone 323 cm below were used to
correlate to the north to the base of Jensen Ridge (Kirkland and Milner, 2006; Milner et al., 2012) located
east of SGDS. Here, overlapping portions of the lower Dinosaur Canyon Member permitted these marker
beds to be identified and correlated. The rest of Dinosaur Canyon portion of the section was measured in
several overlapping sections following the strata as it dipped to the north along Johnson Ridge up to the
base of the Johnson Farm sandstone bed (unit 40), which had capped the north end this ridge (12S 274986
E 4109026) prior to development. The Whitmore Point section started by overlapping base of the
Whitmore Point in the road cut directly across East Riverside Drive from SGDS (12S 274706 4109132
N) taking advantage of fresh exposures due to construction of Fossil Ridge Intermediate School to the
base of Springdale Sandstone Member (12S 274646 E 4109345 N) . The Springdale Sandstone Member
of the Kayenta Formation up to the unnamed “silty facies” of the Kayenta Formation was measured from
12S 274107 E 4109393 N to the north-northwest 12S 273783 E 4109955 N below Black Ridge. Dip 4°
west-northwest.

casts, plant impressions (Pagiophyllum and Equisetum), symmetrical ripple
marks, current ripples, invertebrate trackways, red chert concretions, rare fish
scales (oldest vertebrate body fossils at SGDS), rain drop impressions, microbial
mats. This is the main track-bearing unit (Johnson Farm Sandstone bed; Milner

sandstone bed on the southeast side of road at the SGDS facility. .................................... 106
Sandstone, pale red-brown 10R5/4, medium-grained, well-indurated, climbing
ripple cross-bedding, also includes laterally thinning and thickening tough crossbedded units particularly toward the top, angular mudstone clasts at partings
every 20-80 cm, thickest toward middle, ledge former. Excavation at Walt’s
Quarry #1 across Riverside Drive to west of SGDS facility exposed two dinosaur
track horizons; one at 102 cm below the top, of the unit and another better
horizon at 175 cm below the top which yielded the single 26.5 ton block (SGDS
568) exhibited in the SGDS facility. Farther to the southwest at 67 cm below the
top of the unit, a track matching that of SGDS 568 was excavated at Walt’s
Quarry #2 in several sections and reassembled on the south wall of the SGDS
facility (SGDS 567). These extraordinary monolith surfaces are dominated by
Grallator with rare Eubrontes, Batrachopus, and Undichna (fish swim trails).

APPENDIX B
Mouth of Potter’s Canyon
Section measured by James I. Kirkland and Andrew R.C. Milner, Dec. 6-7, 2012, and April 5, 2013.
Measured up south face of escarpment on west side of mouth of Potter Canyon.
850 (NAD83UTM 12: 0335741 easting, 4083258 northing) dip 3° north. Reference section for Whitmore
Point Member of Moenave Formation is approximately 1.3 miles northwest of Wilson’s (1967) type
section on the western side of the Kanab Paiute Indian Reservation. Based on bore holes for
paleomagnetic sampling, section identified as the same section as that measured by Donohoo-Hurley
and others (2010). However based on the coordinates given by Lucas and Tanner (2011) their
Potters Canyon Section was 1.38 miles west of this section.

DESCRIPTION
Springdale Sandstone Member of KAYENTA FORMATION (not measured)
82. Conglomeratic sandstone, pale reddish-brown 10R 5/4, major cliff former, trough
cross-bedded, sets 2-50 cm thick at base to about one meter thick up section.
Lenses with abundant, angular red mudstone clasts up to 10 cm near base of
member, erosional base with meters of relief over distances of 10s of meters cuts
out several fine-grained sandstone beds at top of Whitmore Point Mbr. to east. The
type locality (New Mexico Museum of Natural History locality 7735) of the
basal Jurassic conchostracans Bulbilimnadia killianorum (Kozur and Weems, 2010;
Lucas and others, 2011) occurs almost 500 m to west. The Springdale Sandstone is
interpreted to have cut out the several meters of the upper part of the Whitmore
Point Member at this locality removing the interval from which those
conchostracans were recovered... .......................................................................................... NM
