The trackways have a truly spectacular array of fossils from plants and animals of the Paleozoic Era (the geologic era immediately before the Mesozoic Era, or the age of the dinosaurs). There are many trails to explore. Keep an eye out for leaf fossils (cordaites) and the tracks of Permian synapsids (proto-mammals).
