"The work on the Cretaceous of southern Utah in the past decade or so has been extraordinary. What was once a terra incognita has now become one of the most exciting areas for paleontological research in the world... The scope of this volume is very systemic, 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.
