Greetings to all! I used to be very active in fossil hunting, but cancer & chemo took me out of it for quite a while. Now I'm starting to get back in! Lately I've mostly hunted in north Wyoming (dinosaurs, tracks & trace fossils, marine fossils) because the flat open ground was easier for me to handle, but now I'm getting around well so I'm not limited to roadcuts & I'm back to Alabama creeks & such! Even thinking about a little boat for checking waterways- had one years ago. In Alabama mostly hunted around Birmingham & Jasper, also Montgomery, St Stephens & Stave Creek (back when it was open, before some folks acted bad & got it closed), even a bit around Mobile. Here is a pic of some "swim tracks" I spotted in Wyoming- it is believed these were made by a dinosaur who was in enough water to lift its weight, but claws & toes still brushed against the bottom as it moved. There were more footprint tracks nearby, where the water was shallower evidently. In some areas, you can follow a dinosaur's tracks for miles-

Made an incredible discovery at home tonight when I noticed tiny baby dinosaur tracks about only 5.1mm long on a ripple slab I had found. I've never seen baby footprints so small before, so I'm amazed. No wonder I didn't notice them for nearly two weeks after I had found them this month! Since there seems to be a partial adult on the edge it makes me wonder if this dinosaur was walking with its new born baby.
