dino ridge

Dinosaur Ridge is a really unique spot where the first stegosaurus was found! There are real dinosaur tracks or trace fossils revealed on the cliff of a mother and juvenile moving back and forth along what was a coast line a long, long time ago. There is a crocodile print and three different dinosaurs along the ridge, the Eolambia, Acrocanthosaur, and the Ornithomimid.  There are also spots where giant Aptosaurus imprints are revealed from underneath where the earth lifted up.  From these prints you can tell that they were toe walkers like us since they dug in more at the toe.  There are also sites of fossilized dinosaur bones and other marine creature fossils.
