SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Scientists at one of Utah's major new dinosaur quarries have found 60 to 70 new bones this spring, including what appears to be a 20-foot-long neck bone discovered this week.
The latest finds are fresh evidence that the site near Hanksville could be a large and important source of bones in the coming years.
"In some places you can't work to remove one bone without finding four or five more," said Scott Williams, collections and exhibits manager at the Burpee Museum of Natural History, the Rockford, Ill.-based institution that's been digging at the site.
