Yet-to-be-discovered dinosaur fossils may be at risk after Trump slashed the size of Grand Staircase

In this Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017, photo, Tylor Birthisel, lab and field manager for paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Utah, reaches to control the plaster-encased skull of a Tyrannosaurus Rex found near Tropic, Utah. The nearly complete fossilized remains of a tyrannosaur found two years ago in southern Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument were airlifted to the Natural History Museum of Utah on Sunday. Grand Staircase paleontologist Alan Titus discovered the fossils in the monument's Kaiparowits Formation. (Scott Sommerdorf/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP)
