Welcome to the Greybull/Staffin dinotalk blogsite

Hi! My name is Dr Neil Clark and I study dinosaurs. For the last ten or more years I have worked on the Isle of Skye where lots of Middle Jurassic dinosaur remains have been found. This summer, I was lucky to travel to Wyoming to look at the Middle Jurassic dinosaur remains there also. As you send messages to each other across the Atlantic Ocean, I will add comments on the results of a study comparing the dinosaur remains in Wyoming to those on the Isle of Skye. Why not ask each other on what you know about the dinosaurs where you live? Visit your local museum and find out what fossils they have. Let each other know what it is like to live where you live. Send your own pictures with your postings. Interview local fossil experts about the dinosaurs in your area and let others know what you find out. Above all, have fun!

Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite


I'm Sabrina. This is a track of a dinosaur at the Red Gulch Track Site. The toes are pointing toward the left. A thousand tracks have been located at the site. The prints were formed about 167 million years ago during the middle Jurrasic Period. Wyoming was thought to be under water at this time but these tracks proved that theory to be incorrect. The Red Gulch Tracksite is about 17 miles from Greybull.
