  • New Pattern: Fossil Trackways

    by Meaghan Wetherell

    Introducing the trackway pattern, a vibrant purple-orange-yellow set of footprints that traverse from the Cambrian up through the Cenozoic. We've got your classics like Eubrontes (theropod dinosaurs) and Cruziana (trilobites) but also some you may not have heard of including Palmichnium (giant sea scorpions) and my personal favorite, the adorably weird Rhamphicnus (pterosaur tracks).
