FOURTH ROW: 16) A giant blue slab with multiple prints in-situ. 17-18) A close-up of a juvenile Eubrontes. 19-20) A close-up of two Eubrontes and an Anchisauripus prints.
FIFTH ROW: 21-22) A small blue slab with a Eubrontes giganteus. 23) A small blue slab with a nice Eubrontes. 24-25) A giant blue slab with two Eubrontes prints, and a close-up of the right print.
SIXTH ROW: 26-27) A giant blue slab with a Eubrontes and an Anchisauripus print. 28) A small blue slab with a nice Eubrontes.
(medium theropod dinosaur)
SECOND ROW: 6-7) The same print photographed twice, on bluish shale. This print was not collected and was photographed in-situ. 8) A Grallator print.
(lepidosauromorphs)
SECOND ROW: 6-7) A possible Eubrontes print. 8-10) A possible Eubrontes print.
THIRD ROW: 11-12) A possible Anchisauripus print. 13-15) Mud cracks and rain drops (unfossilized).
FOURTH ROW: 16) Mud cracks (fossilized) and a very large Eubrontes.
SECOND ROW: 6) A possible Eubrontes print. 7) Rhynchosauroides print (cast and mold). 8) An unknown print/trackway. 9) Rain drops (fossilized).
FIRST ROW: 1) A broken slab showing an imprint from a large Eubrontes (upper right) and a poorly preserved Eubrontes imprints on the lower center and upper left. Same slabs have the tiny prints shown in the following photos. 2-3) Tiny three toed print and insect trials 4) My father thinking that he still has it as he stands behind a giant slab with 8 Eubrontes type prints. 5) One of his giant Eubrontes prints.
SECOND & THIRD ROWS: 6-15) Close-ups of the various Eubrontes type prints.
FOURTH ROW: 16-17) My father has bragging rights. 18-20) Henry's slab with 4 Eubrontes type prints.
FIFTH & SIXTH & SEVENTH ROWS: 21-31) Close-ups of the 4 Eubrontes type prints.
SEVENTH ROW: 32) Henry standing next to Dad's slab. 33-35) Attempting to make latex molds of the prints.
EIGHT ROW: 36-41) We returned on year later and chalked up the prints.
(ripples, desiccation cracks, etc)
SECOND ROW: 6-8) Mud cracks and rain drops (unfossilized). Note the smooth surface and the impressions from the few raindrops or drops of water from the tree leaves above this area. Also note the impression which would have been called a tail drag if this mud was fossilized. 9-10) Ripples on a huge slab.
THIRD ROW: 11) Unknown print. 12-13) What might be an insect trails. 14) Dino thumb. 15) A close-up of an Anchisauripus print with uplifted mud and ripples..
FOURTH ROW: 16-18) What might be a left and right track (impressions and casts).
