Color me cynical.
Watch this same area be rich in oil, natural gas or shale oil and this is a ruse like some freaking lizard that is endangered to not go after the energy.

Don't be surprised if they pass some kind of law that there can't be any drilling for oil , mining for coal, gold, or anything in that area so they can “ preserve it for future generations “.

how did dead dinosaurs wind up 30000 ft under salt domes to make oil if they are found a few ft under ground

That's Rep. Sleestak (D-PA). The other one is a prehistoric monster, probably a prostisaurus disgustus.

From Utah newsoutlet:
Team discovers dinosaur fossils near Hanksville
*******************EXCERPT**********************
In three weeks of excavating the preserved river channel near Hanksville, a team from the Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford, Ill., found four long-necked sauropods, two carnivorous dinosaurs and a possible herbivorous Stegosaurus.
"We have not had a discovery of this magnitude in many, many years," BLM Utah Paleontologist Dr. Scott Foss said. "They're just scratching the surface. The potential is great."
The Hanksville-Burpee Quarry is at least 145 million years old and contains the fossilized remains of dinosaur skeletons, animal burrows and large petrified tree trunks, Foss said.
The sandstone quarry has kept the fossils "exceptionally well preserved," he said. Some fossils have had to be put back together, but many were preserved as complete pieces.
