The Dinosaur Dance Floor: Is the Music Over?
Sunday November 9, 2008
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the "Dinosaur Dance Floor," a site in northern Arizona that paleontologists from the University of Utah say is pockmarked by hundreds of dinosaur footprints. Now, another team of scientists has cast doubt on that claim, saying the so-called dance floor is really a natural geological formation, caused by erosion.
Who's right? In the spirit of cooperation, the two sides are joining forces to investigate further. Stay tuned for more details!

I am so sick of hearing rock formations, It is what it is. I think paleo’s just say that because they like to see expressions faces when they say, ROCK FORMATION. Its only because their jealous they didn’t find it first. Well if they would get off their lazy butts and find their own dinosaures, instead of trying to disect everyones elses. Maybe we would finally figure out what happened to those poor things millions of years ago. Who pays them anyway?
Sorry Celinda – but I have been to that area – it is on the way to hike The Wave and near where other dinosaur tracks are found. It is pretty obvious when you are there it is potholes. I was actually surprised when the study was announced – cause i stood there and walked across those potholes and immediately dismissed them as potholes. You really have to work to make them look like footprints.
