| 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.
