Witte Museum Dinosaur Tracks - San Antonio, TX USA - Petrosomatoglyphs on Waymarking.com

The Witte Museum is at the corner formed by the junction of Tulea Drive with Broadway. There is a free parking garage on Tulia right beside the Witte. The view of these dinosaur footprints can be seen on the long sections of the front walls of both the Susan Naylor Center and on the Mays Family Center. The set of footprints on the Susan Naylor Center wall is on the proper right of the Witte Museum's main entrance doors, between Tulea Drive and the museum's entrance. The second set of dinosaur prints continue on the proper right wall of the Mays Family Center that is still part of the Witte, but separated by the Pioneer, Trail Drivers and Rangers Memorial building. The style of the dinosaur prints are similar on both walls and help unify the various building along Broadway that are all parts of the greater Witte Museum property. These tracks can easily be seen and are accessible to the public free of charge.

Based upon the artistic nature of the petrosomatoglyphs, the sections of rock on the wall where the actual impression of a dinosaur foot is seen is surely a molded footprint of an actual dinosaur that was used to create the effect seen on the wall. It does memorialize the dinosaur because footprints like these are what most people see the most.

The Susan Naylor Center is a new wind added to the Witte during a renovation sever years ago. It is now where much of the dinosaur exhibit is housed, but there are other area in this wing of the Witte for other art and nature displays as well.

The Mays Family Center is a multi-purpose building used to host special displays or exhibitions or for use as a special events center.
