This wood-backed Dinosaur track is a bona fide trace fossil of the ichnogenus variety known as Grallator which has been expertly prepared for display. The huge "positive" fossil dinosaur footprint showcases a three-toed imprint that stands in stark contrast against the gray-brown highly mottled matrix in which it has been preserved. This is one incredible piece from a famous locality.
