Large Plate of Six Complete Dinosaur Footprints. This large 25 x 12" brownish gray plate contains six complete positive dark gray dinosaur footprints. These detailed dinosaur footprints are over 200 million years old and were found in the Portland Formation of the Connecticut Valley. These dinosaur footprints were made by a bipedal theropod dinosaur. It is not known what species of theropod dinosaur made these prints so the prints are given their own scientific name based on the size and shape of the prints. The largest print is a rare Anchisauripus minusculus. There is also a 6½" Anchisauripus footprint with beautiful pads and claw preservation that extends above the matrix. There are also four other complete Anchisauripus tracks in the six inch range that also have well defined pads and claw details. It is quite rare to find so many excellent dinosaur tracks on one plate. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000
