The Connecticut River Valley trackways are the fossilised footprints of a number of Early Jurassic dinosaurs or other archosauromorphs from the sandstone beds of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The finding has the distinction of being among the first known discoveries of dinosaur remains in North America.
The Forked Deer River system is the main drainage of the central portion of West Tennessee. Locals pronounce the first word of the river's name with two syllables, as in “Forkéd” (/ ˈ f ɔːr k ɪ d /). The Forked Deer consists of various streams designated "Forked Deer" and their tributaries.
The North Fork of the Forked Deer River is formed in Gibson County to the south of Chapel Hill Road near Medina and flows to the northwest before entering Dyer County. Here it accepts the flow from the Middle Fork [ 1 ] and then joins with the South Fork [ 2 ] to form the Forked Deer River .
The Post Track, a prehistoric causeway in the valley of the River Brue in the Somerset Levels, England, is one of the oldest known constructed trackways and dates from around 3800 BCE. The world's oldest known paved road was constructed in Egypt some time between 2600 and 2200 BC.
One of the footprints at the Dinosaur Footprints Reservation. As the name implies, fossil footprints are this park's main attraction. They were formed during the Early Jurassic period (approximately 200 million years ago) when what is now the Connecticut River Valley was a subtropical region filled with lakes and swamps.
The Laetoli trackway is famous for the hominin footprints preserved in volcanic ash. After the footprints were made in powdery ash, soft rain cemented the ash layer into tuff, preserving the prints. [6] The hominid prints were produced by three individuals, one walking in the footprints of the other, making the original tracks difficult to ...
The Deer River is a river of Minnesota. It is a tributary of the Mississippi River. [1] Deer River is an English translation of the native Ojibwe-language name. [2 ...
The Genoa River Formation is a very fine grained purplish-brown non-marine sandstone considered Late Devonian in age based on fern-like plant fossils within the bed and stratigraphic correlation. [1] The tracks preserve four or more impressions each. Each trackway has a roughly parallel structure to the left and right tracks.
