Someone seized the opportunity to transform this geological formation into a huge, red dinosaur with rocks for teeth and a glass bottle for an eye. The body is red with black accent marks, and rocks adorn the dinosaur’s crown to add extra flair to its silhouette.

This dinosaur is a delightful sight to witness when driving West on U.S. Route 60 from Springfield and toward Willard, Missouri. The dinosaur will appear on the landscape on your right as the shoulder on the road begins to recede, so observe with caution—you don’t want to go the way of the dinosaurs!
