Pair of Dinosaur Footprints. This pair of rare fossil dinosaur footprints on a 11 x 6 inch gray shale slab contains two Grallator cuneatus footprints, a complete 5.75 inch footprint and a larger 6 inch footprint missing one of the toes. These 187-208 million year old footprints from the East Berling formation of West Springfield Massachusetts were made by meat-eating dinosaurs similar to Podokesaurus, a medium sized theropod, whose partial skeleton was found in the same area. These footprints are the more highly valued negative raised impressions which preserve the most detail of the dinosaur stepping in soft mud preserving some pad and claw details. This rare pair of dinosaur prints probably represents two different Grallator dinosaurs traveling together as the prints are so close together.
