Tail dragging trail on dino dance floor


Here are a couple more photos of the now-famous "dinosaur dance floor" in northern Arizona. The top photo/drawing shows a rare imprint of a dinosaur tail dragged across the sand.

The lower one shows the extent of the footprint site in the Navajo Sandstone near Coyote Buttes.
