Eubrontes Giganteus Dinosaur Track

Connecticut designated a large three-toed dinosaur track (Eubrontes Giganteus) as the official state fossil in 1991, imprinted 200 million years ago during the early Jurassic period. The sandstone of the Connecticut Valley is the world's foremost dinosaur track location, attracting visitors from across the globe.
