Dino Tracks

During ongoing field research at the same site used for my EEG sessions and UAP observations, I found a depression in the sandstone bearing the hallmark features of a theropod footprint: a V-shaped heel and three forward-pointing toe impressions. It was discovered on an exposed slickrock bench in the Castle Valley/Moab region of Utah, a corridor known for some of the richest Triassic to Jurassic track-bearing rock in North America.

This region sits atop a sequence of formations long associated with dinosaur ichnites, including the Moenkopi and Chinle, and the overlying Wingate and Kayenta sandstones. These units have produced numerous documented tracksites throughout the greater Moab area. Nearby sites like Bull Canyon Overlook preserve confirmed theropod trackways in comparable sandstone, giving this find credible regional context.

This identification is preliminary. The print has not yet been examined by a paleontologist or geologist, and I am not asserting a species, ichnogenus, or formation identification at this time. I plan to return to the site to fully document the surrounding surface from multiple angles before submitting the complete photo set to the Utah Geological Survey for professional review.

If you're a paleontologist, geologist, or researcher interested in this find, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
