Lone Ranger Dinosaur Trackway

2022 proved to be the second hottest July on record and the sixth longest stretch of triple-digit days at 21. It was the second driest July on record and the second longest stretch of consecutive days without rainfall at 58 through the end of July this year. Due to the extreme drought conditions we seem to experience at least once every decade, we have been able to study one of the longest dinosaur trackways in the world. In a collabortive effort with Dinosaur Valley State Park, we were able to reexamine this trackway (originally named the Turnage Trail) comparing my data from 22 years ago to the new data we are now learning. Unfortunately, the area of erosion I documented in 2000 has extended from 56' to approximatley 100' loosing over two dozen dinosaur tracks in this trackway. I have shared my data with the State officials so they may have a documented history of this site. We will learn even more about the "Lone Ranger Trail" as we continue to study it and help preserve it for future generations to come.
