At the Top of the Grand Staircase: The Late Cretaceous of Southern Utah (Life of the Past)
"...Rather than marking an end point, the volume is a foundational manuscript for ongoing research that will be indispensable to anyone researching the monument’s prehistoric life. At the Top of the Grand Staircase is an essential volume for explorers who are continuing to search through what’s left of Cretaceous Utah." —National Geographic Phenomena"[T]his work will be an important resource for library collections. It will be valuable to paleontologists and geologists who are working throughout the US and the world, not just this specific region.... Highly recommended." —Choice"The work on the Cretaceous of southern Utah in the past decade or so has been extraordinary. What was once a terra incognito has now become one of the most exciting areas for paleontological research in the world.... The scope of this volume is very systematic, starting with sedimentation and tectonics, proceeding with plants and invertebrates, and culminating with analysis of fossil vertebrates. This volume will be very welcome indeed." —Peter Dodson, University of Pennsylvania
