Description: This short article describes an image of dinosaur footprints located in a coal seam.
Copyright © 1994-1997 by his is a map of the roof (top surface) of a coal seam in an abandoned mine located in late Cretaceous rocks of the Blackhawk Formation, near Price, southeastern Utah. This is but one of many similar occurrences in the area. Many local miners have footprints as doorstops :-), or you can view specimens in the Price museum (highly recommended). The scale (15 feet) is located at the bottom of the image. The large, black rectangular areas are "pillars" of coal left to support the roof (I filled them with black so the image would compress better). The seam has the coalified stumps of trees (the black, radiating symbols) growing on the coal surface (then peat), fallen logs and branches (the elongate rectangular, outlined symbols ), and numerous dinosaur tracks of several species (the 3-lobed, black symbols). The shape and size of the three symbols approximates their real appearance (photos also in Balsley). Balsley provides the following description of these and other features of the sediments within and on top of the coal seam (p. 133):
