Dinosaurs at Gettysburg

There are dinosaur footprints at Gettysburg, the historic Civil War battlefield in Pennsylvania. What's even weirder, their footprints are on a bridge built in 1937! There's a perfectly reasonable explanation, told to us by the Adams County Historical Society at Gettysburg. This story isn't a secret, but thousands of people pass that way to check out the historical site and have no idea. Next time you're there, check them out and report back to us.

  1. He does a really bad job of describing how big this dinosaur is.

    "It is a small dinosaur." Well that says absolutely nothing. Smaller than a house? Smaller than a breadbox?

    "If you are familiar with a sarapotamore." No, I'm not familiar with this. I'm not even sure how to spell it so I can't look it up.

    "It is similar to a type of plateosaurus." I don't know that one either. But at least Google gave me a hint on how to spell it so I could look it up.

    Apparently plateosaurus were 16 to 33 feet long, so maybe about the size of a giraffe. That would have been a better description. I guess he's so immersed in dinosaurs that it doesn't occur to him to use a non-dinosaur animal for reference Otherwise very interesting!
