I happened to be in Gettysburg for the weekend, and I remembered an article I had read a while back. It said something about Dinosaur prints at the Gettysburg battlegrounds. So I took a trip to the location and took a look around, here’s the prints I could see with all the rain:

Clearest two, it’s a foot and hand from Atreipus milfordensis.

Here’s some harder to see ones, the one in lighter stone is easy to see when there’s no glare from the water

“Anchisauripus” sillmani for the first one I believe.

That’s all I got pictures of. These are late triassic aged prints from the Heidlersburg member of the Gettysburg shale. They were quarried at the now defunct Trostle Quarry. Wonder if people still find things there.

 

Lastly, Here’s me looking stupid with atreipus milfordensis:

No problem! It’s worth a visit for it’s historical significance alone. Of course, I typically take it for granted as it’s one hour away and my area is criss crossed with Civil War sites. I still see something new every time I go, like this Civil war era graffiti on little round top:
