Description

Fossil Tetrapod Trackway
Pseudobradypus sp.
Middle Pennsylvanian
Keota Sandstone Formation
Oklahoma, USA

This relatively thin and irregularly shaped slab of sedimentary rock is tan and gray but contains fossils of significance not necessarily noted at first glance. Tracks from a tetrapod, known as Pseudobradypus, are prevalent over the surface of the matrix in high detail. Representing an ichnogenus, this variety is solely known from trace fossils such as footprints and trackways, with no actual fossils having been recovered. This prehistoric sandstone dates to the Carboniferous Period, making it over some 300 million years old.
Overall Measurements: 9.65 x 6.69 x 0.45 inches (24.50 x 17.00 x 1.14 cm)
