It sports both the raised fossil casts created when sediments filled in the true impressions, as well as slab with the true impressions of one of the footprints. This specimen also sports a very rare fossil impression of a tail drag on the opposite side of the raised tracks. The original footprints were discovered, amongst others, by a farm boy, Pliny Moody.

Ever since that initial discovery, the Connecticut River Valley has routinely been the site of a plethora of scientific discoveries dating back to the Late Triassic & Early Jurassic periods.
