(Hiya, Dan!)...ask to see the park's paleontology index volume. The critters and any others should be listed there. It wasn't that long ago that the specimen was identified and collected. I took the YA Paleontology class in 2007, and that's when we walked past the find spot, en route to a canyon further north on Everts where we didn't see anything fossiliferous at all. Later in the summer in a different class, we climbed into the same canyon to view some of the junipers which were being studied to understand the recent past climate. So we were walking on Cretaceous sandstone, which was growing Holocene junipers!
