This is a very collectible slab of trace fossils. These are fossil bird tracks from the Eocene of Utah. There are MANY complete tracks on this plate. These tracks were probably made by a Sandpiper-type bird. It is easy to envision birds walking along the shoreline of an ancient lake or pond - later this shoreline mud turned to stone. The tracks are clearly defined and well positioned on the large, natural plate of shale. This is a museum quality specimen of fossil bird tracks from the Green River Formation.
