Schillerosaurus was a genus of prehistoric lizard of the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation of Western North America, and is currently the only squamate genus known to be endemic to the Morrison Formation. Described based on a partial skeleton from Dinosaur National Monument by Susan Evans and Dan Chure in 1999 as Schilleria utahensis, its name was subsequently changed to Schillerosaurus due to the former name already being occupied by a modern-day arachnid subgenus.
Paramacellodus is an extinct genus of scincomorph lizards from the Early Cretaceous of England and France, and the Late Jurassic of Portugal and the western United States. The type species, Paramacellodus oweni, was named in 1967 from the earliest Cretaceous (Berriasian) Purbeck Group in Dorset, England. Additional material referable to a species of Paramacellodus, possibly P. oweni, has been described from the Morrison Formation, specifically in Como Bluff, Wyoming, and Dinosaur National Monument, Utah. An indeterminate species is known from the Berriasian aged Angeac-Charente bonebed in France. Paramacellodus belongs to an extinct family of scincomorphs called Paramacellodidae, which spanned most of Laurasia during the Late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous and represented one of the earliest evolutionary radiations of lizards.
Guntherichthys is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the late Mississippian/early Pennsylvanian in what is now Utah, United States. Fossils were recovered from the Manning Canyon Shale. The genus is named after Lloyd Gunther.
Spinofacia is an extinct genus of prehistoric bony fish that lived during the late Mississippian/early Pennsylvanian in what is now Utah, United States. Fossils were recovered from the Manning Canyon Shale.
The Nopah Formation is a geologic formation in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period.
The Orr Formation is a geologic formation in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period.
The Pioche Formation is a geologic formation in Utah and Nevada. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period.
The Weeks Formation is a geologic formation in Utah. It preserves fossils dating back to the Cambrian period and more specifically the Guzhangian stage. Its upper part has yielded a diverse fauna dominated by trilobites and brachiopods, but also comprising various soft-bodied organisms, such as Falcatamacaris. As such, it is regarded as a Konservat-Lagerstätte.
