Track

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Last month I was browsing an estate auction, saw this footprint and without knowing anymore, since the price seemed reasonable I bought it.... I mean, never seen a "dino track" available. At least something new in the collection.

The old man i bought it from, told me that if he remember well, he geot it from "someplace in the northeast" (a 80 something year old kid who was downsizing all his home), that´s all.

If someone has an idea of where it could come from and what it could be I´ll appreciate it.

Luis

Hello Luis,

Nice footprint!

Based on size and toe splay,... this is most likely a Grallator sp. footprint, originating in the Portland Formation, Hartford Basin, Newark Supergroup.

As Rockwood said, it is quite possibly from the Nash Dinosaur Tracksite and Rockshop.

Nice estate sale find!
