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 Large Ichthyosaur  plate is one of the best if not the Best ever offered to the fossil collector that shows a complete animal that was fossilized some 150 million years ago in near Glastonbury, England.

The original or real fossil plate was found by Thomas Hawkins some 200 years ago.
and still resides in the British Museum.

This Replica appeared in the  Henry A. Ward catalog of fossil replicas of 1866. It was housed in the Ward collection of fossil replicas in Rochester NY.  until 1893 when it was displayed at the Chicago Exhibition ( similar to a World's fair ) with many of his other replicas.. At this time the Field Museum of Chicago bought most of all Henry Ward's collection. This plaque became one of the attractions on display at the museum. As the museum's collection grew in size this plaque was then stored away most likely in their basement for almost 100 years.

In 2002 we acquired this replica and now after 135 years in storage
this FABULOUS  ICHTHYOSAUR  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.

Just my opinion but this is the type of fossil you dream about finding and adding to your collection. If you use your imagination you could just see THIS ICHTHYOSAUR as still alive in the ocean some 150 million years ago.

History of this Plaque

This Juvenile Plesiosaur  plate is one of the best if not the Best ever offered to the fossil collector that shows a complete animal that was fossilized some 150 million years ago in Glastonbury, England.

The original or real fossil plate was found by Thomas Hawkins  in 1834. The original fossil still resides at the British Museum in London.

 FYI: Hawkins called this specimen 'Plesiosaurus triatarsostinus' - a real mouthful!
Richard Owen re-christened it as Plesiosaurus Hawkinsii in 1840. The genus has been renamed following a proper description by Mike Taylor and Glenn Storrs (1996)
 'Thallasiodracon' - meaning 'sea dragons' - and
"hawkinsii' in honour of its discoverer.
