DINOSAUR TRACK QUARRY

SOUTH HADLEY, MA

Dinosaur Track Quarry is an excavation site located in South Hadley, Massachusetts, that contains an extensive collection of dinosaur footprints. The quarry is situated on a 200-acre plot of land that was once an ancient riverbed. The riverbed was home to a variety of dinosaurs that roamed the area millions of years ago, and their footprints were preserved in the sediment.

The quarry is currently owned by Mount Holyoke College, which purchased the land in 1925. The site was first discovered in the late 19th century by a local farmer who noticed unusual rock formations in the area. Since then, the quarry has been a popular destination for paleontologists and dinosaur enthusiasts.

The quarry contains thousands of dinosaur footprints, including tracks from theropods, sauropods, and ornithopods. The footprints range in size from a few inches to several feet in length. Visitors to the site can view the footprints up close and learn about the dinosaurs that left them behind.

Dinosaur Track Quarry is a unique site that provides valuable insight into the lives of dinosaurs. The quarry is open to visitors during the summer months, and guided tours are available. The site is also used for research purposes by paleontologists and other scientists who study dinosaur behavior and evolution.
