New Mexico Dinosaur Track Identification

Dinosaur Track is a realistic New Mexico fossil profile built around footprint impression preserved in ancient mud or sand flats. In this state, success usually comes from learning badlands mudstones, petrified wood flats, and playa margins, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
