Description

Theropod Dinosaur Footprints (Positive/Negative Set of 2)
Grallator sp.
Early Jurassic
Portland Formation, Connecticut River Valley
South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA

This amazing specimen consists of a set of Dinosaur footprints, exhibiting both "positive" and "negative" representations. From the iconic Connecticut River Valley, these three-toed tracks belong to ichnogenus variety Grallator, known in the Fossil Record only from such trace fossils. Believed to be one of the most precise impressions ever to be unearthed by legendary Kornell Nash, this pair offers a sense of muscular structure and features 'deep' claws. The specimen was previously used for educational display purposes. It is notable that the South Hadley tracks were found only a few miles away from where the first footprints were discovered back in 1802.
Overall Measurements: 8.86 x 5.31 x 1.18 inches (22.50 x 13.50 x 3.00 cm)


[Scale: 1 inch, with mark at 1 cm]
