 On a recent fieldtrip to collect detrital zircon samples for radiometric dating some spectacular sauropod dinosaur footprints were found by Adam McKean. The footprints are impressed into oxidized overbank mudstones and infilled with a fluvial sandstone, both within the 148 Ma Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation. The locality is east of Green River, Utah. Discoverer of the footprints, geology undergraduate Adam McKean (left), along with recent BYU geology Master’s graduate, Brent Greenhalgh, who now works for Questar Gas in Salt Lake City looking at a dinosaur footprint.
