Virtual Tour of Proposed Monument.

Photo Tour of Track Locations

These localities are from page 45 of the 1994 Smithsonian report.
The authors identified 34 locations where other tracks were found in Robledo mountain red beds.
However, tracks are also found in the Abo red beds from the U.S./Mexico border to north of Santa Fe, NM.

Tracks found in the Robledo Mountains are not unique, this area is more accessible and has been searched more.

Questions concerning these locations

1. Is it legal to disclose these locations?

These locations have already been disclosed publicly several times through public domain publications produced with taxpayer money:
The 1994 Smithsonian report page 45.
The 1995 New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, Bulletin 6, page 14.
They are also shown on a detailed map in the book "Earth's First Steps", by Jerry MacDonald, which was a for profit publication.
The listings of these sites here is not for profit, but for public information and education.

2. How accurate are the UTM coordinates since they were published before the government "unscrambled" the civilian GPS units?

The accuracy was to within 300'. That is close enough for this data. Several of the UTM coordinates placed the 2006 team right in the original dig site or within a few feet of it. Sever others placed the team within 300' of an Abo redbed outcrop. So the accuracy was good enough.
