The student favorite at last weekend's Montreal Gem and Mineral show was this dinosaur footprint from Middletown, Connecticut. This is in the Triassic rift that's now the Connecticut River valley and the track was made by an unknown species. The generic name for the tracks ('Eubrontes') is the Connecticut State fossil.

It didn't sell, and spurred discussions of private versus public ownership of our fossil heritage.
