dry wash full of 112-million-year-old dinosaur tracks that include an ankylosaurus, dromaeosaurus and a menacing ancestor of the Tyrannosaurus rex, is set to open to the public this fall near Moab. There are more than 200 tracks in an area smaller than a football field from 10 different ancient animals that lived during the early Cretaceous period.
They were first discovered in 2009 by a resident.
The tracks include a set of 17 consecutive footprints left by Tyrannosaurus rex ancestor and the imprint of an ancient crocodile pushing off into the water.
The site is one of the largest areas of dinosaur tracks from the early Cretaceous period known to exist in North America, she said.
