The details as written in the catalog of 1866.
Replica # 102 called
Brontozoum Sillimanium, by Hitchcock
" Tracks on a slab,in relief ( cast )
This specimen exhibits about 50 tracks with the phalangeal and claw impressions
exceedingly distinct. The smaller tracks were made by B.Sillimanium and the
larger by B.exsertum. The length of the middle and outer toes of the former is
four to five inches, of the foot about six inches and of the step twenty-three
inches."
" Width of the trackway four and a half inches. The middle and outer toes of the
latter measure six inches; the foot nearly three inches and the step thirty
inches."
"The slab also contains the crooked trackway of the Cunicularius retrahens
and mud viens. The original was discovered in the micaceous sandstone Triassic
Age at Middletown,Conn.and is in the Appleton cabinet at Amherst."
Today we now know these tracks as GRALLATOR & ANCHISAURIPUS

History of this Plaque
This Multi dinosaur track plate is one of the best if not the Best ever
offered to the fossil collector that shows a multitude of footprints left by a
small dinosaur some 200 million years ago in Middletown, Conn.
The original or real fossil plate was discovered by Dr. Edward Hitchcock
( A Geologic Scientist ,and the father of ICHNITES the
science of dinosaur tracks ) in the 1830's and now resides in Amherst
College in Massachusetts. In the
Henry A. Ward catalog of fossil replicas of 1866 a ( partial
illustration as seen to the left ) of this plate was offered for sale to museums
and other scientists of those times. It is quite interesting to see the names
given to the tracks in his catalog. Details of this plate from the catalog of
1866 can be seen again to the left under the illustration. After a scientific
revision was done in the early 1900's of the fossils found in the Conn. River
Valley new names for these footprints were made and is what we call them today.
The original replica was stored at the University of Rochester New York until
the early 1900's when it was sold along with the majority of other fossil
replicas from his catalog to the Field Museum of Chicago Illinois and was stored
there for at least 100 years! In 2002
we acquired this replica and now after 135 years in storage
this FANTASTIC DINOSAUR FOOTPRINT PLATE is now available again to fossil
collectors, museums and schools etc. Each wall plaque is individually made to
order and is made of polyeurathane resin and the weight is far less then the
original replica.
Grallator today is the name of the track and is agreed by
many paleontologists of this region that the dinosaur was a Coelophysis type
dinosaur. Back in the 1800's for that matter the dinosaur itself was not known
at all !!!!

History of this Plaque
This Walkway plate is one of the best if not the Best ever
offered to the fossil collector that shows a distinct walkway of footprints left by a
Labyrinthodont type animal ( Very large Amphibian ) some 225 million years ago in
Germany..
The original or real fossil plate was discovered in Germany some 200 years ago
and most likely is housed in a museum in that country. In the
Henry A. Ward catalog of fossil replicas of 1866 a ( partial
illustration as seen to the left ) of this plate was offered for sale to museums
and other scientists of those times. It is quite interesting to see the names
