Traded a mini cruise for tracks in the dirt

Thunderstorms threaten so no cruise to the Thimble Islands this time. Instead we checked out Dinosaur State Park. Yeap, it is tracks in the mud (sandstone now).
We learned some stuff…or relearned it: Why you find tracks OR fossils but never both. Dinosaurs evolved over hundreds of thousands of years….they didn’t all live at the same time. Continental drift..the land masses moved hundreds of miles. When they find a cluster of footprints like this they get their own name…not a dinosaur name ‘cause they don’t know for sure who made them.
