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 footprints, dating back to the Early Cretaceous period, were found in Brazil and in Cameroon, researchers wrote in a study published Monday by the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science.

Wakinyantanka are large, tridactyl, and bipedal pes prints, with the middle (third) toe being the longest (mesaxonic), typical of theropod footprints. The digits of Wakinyantanka are long and slender, and are widely divaricating so that the prints are roughly as wide as they are long, averaging between 55–60 centimetres (22–24 in) long and 60 centimetres (24 in) wide.
Nearly 200 Jurassic footprints found in southern England reveal new insights into 166 million-year-old prehistoric creatures, according to scientists.
The discovery was announced just a few months after a team of paleontologists found matching dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents, separated by thousands of miles of ocean.
The East Berlin Formation is an Early Jurassic geological formation in New England, United States. Dinosaur footprints and trackways are abundant in this formation. These tracks include Eubrontes (belonging to medium-sized-theropods similar to Dilophosaurus), Anchisauripus (belonging to small theropods like Coelophysis), and Anomoepus (belonging to indeterminate small ornithischians).
