The Flinstones

Photobucket

This was definitely one of the highlight of this trip, being able to see dinosaur remains outside of a museum. We were on our way into Monument Valley when we saw this huge sign by the road that said "Dinosaur Tracks". It looked a little dubious, because most of the attraction spots had huge signs and posts miles away informing people  where they were but this one was a hand painted sign. Curious, we followed the sign. This was on the preserve land, so it's not operated by anybody, and it's free. We had a friendly guide who explained what tracks or who's bones we were looking at. It was really exciting, little did I expect to be able to see dino tracks live on location! 

As you can see clearly, those are foot prints and partial bone fossils, but can you guess what are those rounded mounds?
