Dinosaur is a Statutory Town in Moffat County, Colorado, United States.

It was renamed "Artesia" for its valued water supply when a town was platted to accommodate the oil boom in the 1940s.

Colorado State Highway 64 has its northern terminus in Dinosaur and leads southeast 18 miles (29 km) to Rangely.

At the 2020 United States Census, the town of Dinosaur had a total area of 595 acres (2.408 km2), all of it land.

[4] Many streets in the town are named after dinosaurs, including Cletisaurus Circle, Tyrannosaurus Trail, and Antrodemus Alley.

Because recreational cannabis is legal in Colorado but illegal in bordering Utah, Dinosaur's cannabis dispensaries serve Utah residents driving across the state line to purchase the drug legally.
