At BLM's Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite, you can imagine yourself walking along an ocean shoreline 165 million years ago with dozens or hundreds of other dinosaurs, looking to pick up a bite of lunch from what washed up on the last high tide. The ground is soft and your feet sink down in the thick ooze, leaving a clear footprint of every step you take.

The recent discovery of rare fossil footprints on public lands near the Red Gulch/Alkali National Back Country Byway close to Shell, Wyo., could alter current views about the Sundance Formation and the paleoenvironment of the Middle Jurassic Period.
