About this Image

Grallator footprints have been traditionally associated with the Coelophysis, a small, two legged, meat eating dinosaur. The three-toed tracks are generally 2 to 6 inches long, indicating a dinosaur up to 4 feet tall. In this mural, the Coelophysis is the graceful creature in the foreground with the smaller dinosaur dangling from his jaws. The mural is in the exhibit at Dinosaur State Park, in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, just south of Hartford.
