The Fossils of Diligent River
Each bed (or layer) of rock is called a horizon. Examinations of the site revealed footprints in a number of horizons, including microsaur prints and tracks made by a larger tetrapod, possibly an amphibian. The plant fossils include upright fern stems (possibly Sphenopteris sp.) with fronds trapped between the parallel beds. These ferns were present in several horizons.
In the exposed panel of rock originally discovered by Cody McLellan, there are at least four different types of footprints. One of these trackways could be the first of its kind ever found! |
