Abstract
An American Association of Petroleum Geologists convention at Dallas offered my first chance to visit the famous dinosaur trackways and some alleged human footprints near Glen Rose, Texas on April 21, 1983. That month's ASA Newsletter led to a sparkling correspondence with Ronnie Hastings of Waxahachie. He and Glen Kuban invited me back in 1987 for a full two weeks in the Paluxy River valley. Beginning on August 21, our expedition covered the surviving documented sites along with some which had never been reported, local museums, and available sources of information. We investigated rumors of anomalous fossils, examined myriad clues to the ancient setting, and allowed the evidence to shape our conclusions.
