This Texas Parks and Wildlife Department disk is located in the bedrock of the Paluxy River bedrock where three kids of dinosaur tracks were found in the 1930s.

The entire track site has since been purchased by the State of Texas. The tracks are now studied and preserved for generations to come as part of Dinosaur Valley State Park (one of the most popular state parks in Texas).

The disk is about 25 feet from the newest set of theropod tracks to be discovered in the Paluxy.
