This absolutely massive reddish-brown rocky brick weighing a stout 35 pounds (16 kilograms) is host to a fabulous pair of Dinosaur footprints. The incredible duo of unusual "positive" cast fossils of the trackway from Grallator, an ichnogenus variety known only from such trace fossils. A pronounced middle digit has taken center stage on both feet, and the two fossil representations are pointed in opposing directions to add yet further intrigue to this already sizable, impressive, and amazing specimen, dating to the Jurassic.
