Not content to promote petrified wood, the area around Petrified Forest National Park also exhibits many dinosaurs to help lure in the customers. These two are along I-40 in front of a truck plaza.
All things are not what they seem however. Obviously the one dinosaur is very well done, highly colored and teeth and claws showing. However, this area is the Triassic, not the Jurassic, which means it was the time of the monster crocs and other oversized amphibians. It's just that details like this are usually unknown to the travelers out on the Interstate, and if it draws them in, so what, hence we have dinosaurs in this waymark.
