Subtitle B—Prehistoric Trackways 
National Monument 
SEC. 2101. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds that— 
(1) in 1987, a major deposit of Paleozoic Era fossilized 
footprint megatrackways was discovered in the Robledo Moun-
tains in southern New Mexico; 
(2) the trackways contain footprints of numerous amphib-
ians, reptiles, and insects (including previously unknown spe-
cies), plants, and petrified wood dating back approximately 
280,000,000 years, which collectively provide new opportunities 
to understand animal behaviors and environments from a time 
predating the dinosaurs; 
(3) title III of Public Law 101–578 (104 Stat. 2860)— 
(A) provided interim protection for the site at which 
the trackways were discovered; and 
(B) directed the Secretary of the Interior to— 
(i) prepare a study assessing the significance of 
the site; and 
(ii) based on the study, provide recommendations 
for protection of the paleontological resources at the 
site; 
(4) the Bureau of Land Management completed the Paleo-
zoic Trackways Scientific Study Report in 1994, which 
characterized the site as containing ‘‘the most scientifically 
significant Early Permian tracksites’’ in the world; 
(5) despite the conclusion of the study and the recommenda-
tions for protection, the site remains unprotected and many 
irreplaceable trackways specimens have been lost to vandalism 
or theft; and 
(6) designation of the trackways site as a National Monu-
ment would protect the unique fossil resources for present 
and future generations while allowing for public education and 
continued scientific research opportunities.
