Could this Salt Lake City artist’s Granary District dino sculpture become the ‘whale of the west’?

Local woodworker Garth Franklin created “Kosmo,” a 20-foot-long Kosmoceratops dinosaur, with the hopes that the ancient creature could be a mascot for the industrial neighborhood.

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Kosmo the dinosaur, by local artist Garth Franklin, sits at the corner of 500 West and 700 South in Salt Lake City, Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Franklin hopes Kosmo will become a mascot and anchor of the city’s Granary District, like the 9th and 9th’s whale has become to the east.
