Travel: Speculating about the past 2023-05-08 - Near Kanab, Utah - Photo by Robert Ellis, Robert Ellis Woodworking. Robert writes, "Dinosaur tracks? Our guide mentioned these tracks were possibly made by cattle heading to the hole of water at the top of this "brain rock" (the name they go by when referring to this type of rock structure). What's puzzling is... the gray rock is a very thin layer, as you can see to the left of the tracks, so if tracks were made over a period of time by cattle, then the bottom of the holes should reveal red rock...which they don't. Is it possible the tracks were made by something else when the brain rock was in a softened state, before hardening?"
