Rowena
Manuel, one of the founding members of GeoScience Adventures, discovered the Yellow Brick Road Dinosaur Tracksite on state land while exploring the Bighorn
Basin with her husband, Cliff, and her nephew, Dr. Erik Kvale. As Row was
hiking down the dry wash, she discovered exposures of three-toed dinosaur
tracks in the limestone outcrop. The further she walked,
the more tracks she saw. This led her to remark to herself “What will I tell my companions – I walked down the
Yellow Brick Road!” Like the
Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite, this meandering dry
wash contains hundreds of rare Middle Jurassic age dinosaur tracks embedded
in limestone. The dinosaur tracks exposed here are similar to those in the
Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite. Our GeoScience Team has
determined the age of these tracks to be the same as those at the Red Gulch
Dinosaur Tracksite - 167 million years.
