Description
Two types of dinosaurs left their footprints in the mud at the Purgatoire River Dinosaur Tracksite in the Picket Wire Canyonlands in south east Colorado. Meat eaters, like the Allosaurus that left this bird-like track and the huge plant-eating Apatosaurus formerly known as Brontosaurus.
Today, the Purgatoire River is a deeply carved, rugged and arid landscape, but about 150 million years ago, it resembled a lush conifer forest and tropical sea where the critters of the time could walk in the mud and leave their tracks.
The tracksite on the Comanche National Grasslands south of La Junta, contains over 1500 prints in 100 separate trackways extending across a quarter mile of bedrock. The famous track site has given Paleontologists insights into the social behavior of dinosaurs and established clues to their herd movements.
Some digital effects were applied to this original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark.
