Biblical Archaeologist Dr. Willie Dye works in a pit to study the earth's past.

Although fossilized dinosaur tracks have been found all over the world, they are rarer than fossilized bones. This is because footprints are preserved when conditions are right. Most dinosaur tracks belong to a single animal. When these tracks were made the ground was soft, but not so soft that the prints fill in, and the prints were covered by sediment or sand.

Trackways can reveal a lot about dinosaurs. Some are formed by several animals in a herd.

There is a lot of hard work involved. Boulders and stones are removed by Dr. Dye and co-workers. The Paluxy River bed houses more history in infinite variety than any other spot on earth of equal size.

Dinosaurs gathered at particular places to feed or to drink, interacting with eachother. Paleontologists embark on lengthy expeditions in search of animal remains.

Dinosaur tracks can often give an idea of its speed or gait. These factors make the interpretation of the dinosaur motions from footprints.
