FOSSIL FOOTPRINTS.
A Remarkable Slab Recently Discovered
in New England.

A Remarkable Slab Recently Discovered
in New England.
An interesting account is given by
the Hartford, Conn Times of the dis
covcry at depth of one hundred and
thirty feet, in the frccstonc quarrics at
Portland, Of eight new and gharply de-
fined specimens of fossil footprints
made by some huge creature CT the
earlier periods of the planets history.
1t seems that Wesleyan university at
Middleton, Conn.,, will possess the slab
on which this huge creature Imprinted
his tracks, millions of years ago, when
the substance was sand and oozy rad
since hardened into stone. Prof. Viii
liam North Rice OF the Ncslcyaa has
purchased the slab for 1T is saiD
one hundred dollars 1t is ten and one
half feet long by two feet wide, and
about an inch thick Tho most Gllarply
defined tracks are those that were made
by the creatures hind fcct-the others
being lighter as if he had but lightly
touched the smooth surfacc with his
fore fcct-if fore feet they could be
called; for this giant creature, as much
bird as crocodile, apparently hadn't
any true fore feet, This particular
family, Q kind Of iguanodon (nancd by
Hitchcock Anichnus dcwcyanus). seems
to be virtually unknown in the geology
OF their parts Of the world, and to be
limited, as to its fossil tracks, strictly
to the Connecticut valley, whose sand
stones arc SO rich in other fossil foot
prints. These huge and ugly creatures
Of an age of the Nicsozoic period, a time
of strange animal formations, stood
up on their hind legs, and, in nov
ing, had long stride. They
had ugly teeth in their bills CT jaws,
and must have been formidable follows,
even to the ugly and thricc-arr1cd ami
mails, flying, running, swimming, jump
ing, among whom they lived. AS there
were then no human beings on Garth
there was no great danger from such
creatures as iguanodons and the hun
drcd other strangely made and mon
strous forms of animal life abounding
here in the Connecticut valley. The
river itself at that tirne was probably a
bay, or arm Of the sea, up to Hartford.
The weather was hot and the cir rnurl,y
and stearny and doubtless filed With
noises il the battle Of life |
These iguancdons or birl-li1ards, varied !
much in sizc-sonc being thirty to fifty |
feet in size. others not larger than q |
house cat. These newly found tracks |
are said to be those of n creature which |
was the first that has been recognized ,
by its fossil tracks as q quadruped.
