Where
is the best place in the
world to find dinosaur tracks?
In
the Connecticut
River Valley
It
was in this valley that the first
dinosaur tracks in North America were found.
The
location that has
produced more dinosaur tracks than any other location is the Nash
Dinosaur Track Site and Rock Shop.
It was discovered in 1933 and
bought in 1939 by Carlton S. Nash. Since that time it has produced
thousands of dinosaur tracks that have been sold to museums and private
individuals all over the world. The Nash Dinosaur Track Site and Rock
Shop is located about one mile from where the first dinosaur tracks
in the
Connecticut River Valley were found in 1802 by a farmer named Pliny
Moody. Since Carlton S. Nash's
death in 1997, his son Kornell Nash has carried on the work.
