"Dino Track and Petrified Wood" Wooden Jigsaw Puzzle ' Pieces of Texas'

An original track used to describe a distinct form of dinosaur footprint in the 1930’s. This footprint, assigned the ichnospecies name Eubrontes glenrosensis, was originally excavated in 1933 from the main track layer in the Paluxy riverbed in what is now Dinosaur Valley State Park near Glen Rose. Not long after it was excavated, the cities of Glen Rose built this stone bandstand and embedded the track in its walls. The footprint is of a three-toes, bipedal. Meat-eating dinosaurs with most likely candidate being the theropod named Acrocanthosaurus, whose skeletal remans are fond mostly in Texas and Oklahoma. This particular track was described in 1935 by Ellis W. Shuler, SMU’s first geology professor. Dinosaur Valley State Park boasts the ancient shoreline of a 133 million year old sea and is renowned for some of the best preserved dinosaur footprints in the world.
