Summary
Trackway fossil footprint at the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite — an interpretive area in the Red Gulch/Alkali National Back Country Byway, in Big Horn County, Wyoming.
Site of Jurassic dinosaur footprints, protected by the BLM−Bureau of Land Management in Wyoming.
From the My Public Lands Magazine, Summer 2014: "Walking with Giants"
We follow 167-million-year-old dinosaur tracks in the ancient ocean shores of…Wyoming? You can imagine yourself walking along an ocean shoreline 167 million years ago with dozens 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 with every step you take.
The discovery of rare fossil footprints on public lands near the Red Gulch/Alkali National Back Country Byway close to Shell, Wyoming, could alter current views about the Sundance Formation and the paleoenvironment of the Middle Jurassic Period.
