Dinosaur Footprint Grallator

Description

This iconic fossil three toed dinosaur footprint is known as a Grallator print – and ichnogenus – as the species of dinosaur cannot always be identified. The imprint is very clear showing great detail of the underside of the foot which is on a wonderfully mottled flat patterned matrix which in most likelyhood was an ancient floodplain. This was probably made by a raptor which lived in the late Triassic (Upper Triassic) that stood on its two hind legs.
