Carnegie Quarry

Carnegie Quarry, also known as Dinosaur Quarry or Douglass Quarry, is a fossil site in Utah that dates to the Jurassic period. It is located in the Morrison Formation. It is part of Dinosaur National Monument, which was founded to protect the site. A portion of the quarry remains unexcavated, and the fossils remain in the ground where they can be viewed by the public at the Quarry Visitor Center.

Carnegie Quarry is considered "one of the most important localities" in the Morrison Formation. Hundreds of specimens have been collected from the site, representing at least ten different dinosaur species and several other kinds of reptile.
