Locality map: Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, southern Utah. Map showing the Nipple Butte area (indicated by yellow star) of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM). GSENM is bounded by the red rectangle and silhouetted in dark gray on the inset of Utah and surrounding states (modified from [1]). The original map has been modified to show the Nipple Butte area instead of the Machairoceratops fossil locality as in the original source. New location based on map in A New Macrovertebrate Assemblage from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) of Southern Utah, page 601.
