The most notable of the fossil discoveries are the thousands ofJurassic dinosaur footprints preserved in sandstone layers at Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill, CT.

With outstanding graphics, and striking color photographs of dinosaur bones, tracks, fishes, invertebrates and plants by noted Connecticut photographer Richard Bergen, this book highlights the natural history and ecology of early Jurassic times. Chapters also focus on plate tectonics, geologic time, evolution, and modern ecosystems, as illustrated by the Arboretum of ancient plants and the nature trails at Dinosaur Park.
