Stegosaurus at Dinosaur National Monument

Description

Additional examples of my paleontological photography are available to view in my DA "Paleo & Sci Illo" gallery:

As part of my 2013 nine state dinosaur road trip I made a side journey to Vernal, Utah. There I visited the Dinosaur National Monument for the first time since the new quarry building was completed. The US Park Service moved this life-sized sculpture of Stegosaurus to the new visitor center and gave it a new paint job. This color scheme makes no physiological sense with respect to heat exchange in the back plates.

I’ve been there too and I was also puzzled by the coloration
Have you been to the Denver museum of nature and science?
There’s a cool exhibition called 'prehistoric journey' which shows the entire evolution up to now.
