Me photographing dinosaur tracks.

Introduction

The mapping project of the Dinosaur Footprint Reservation in Holyoke Massachusetts originated as a senior thesis project funded in 2010 via SUNY Oneonta Student Research Grant, $1,141 (B.S Research)

The project set out to create a digital map of the Early Jurassic dinosaur trackways using total station, differential GPS, digital photography and GIS.

The data presented below is the data collected by myself and Dr. Hasbargen of primarily Eubrontes dinosaur tracks to be used in education settings. Provided are various PDF Maps, Google Earth KMZ Files, Orientation Data and related publication.

This research was later published (Link) in conjunction with Dr. Patrick Getty and colleagues incorporating their larger data set mapping over a thousand tracKs.
