Description: World’s smallest dinosaur tracks found at Wasson Bluff, Nova Scotia, Canada on April 10, 1984 by amateur geologist Eldon George of Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. See coin (1 Canadian cent) for scale. The tracks, which belong to the ichnogenus Grallator, are preserved at the sole of a sandstone bed of the Lower Jurassic (Hettangian to Pliensbachian) McCoy Brook Formation of the Fundy Group, Newark Supergroup. The trackmakers probably were hatchlings of theropod dinosaurs.
