This grant supports an initial geophysical survey aimed at locating and recording hidden fossil trackways and ancient lakeshore features within the western half of a monument, specifically at a highly concentrated track site. The primary purpose is to test the capabilities of specialized geophysical equipment and gather essential data and images. This information will be crucial for public sharing, resource management, and effective protection of these significant natural formations. A successful test survey conducted in April 2017 demonstrated the equipment’s ability to detect buried prints, providing a strong foundation. The knowledge gained from this project will directly inform and enable future extensive surveys of the monument’s western shorelines, enhancing understanding and preservation efforts.

| Description: | For this project a geophysical survey will be conducted to locate and record covered fossil trackways and lakeshore features. This is an initial survey to test the capabilities of geophysical equipment and gather data and images for public sharing and resource management and protection. The survey will take place within the western half of the monument at a highly concentrated track site. A test survey was conducted in April 2017 for a two meter by two meter area that successfully allowed buried prints to be detected. The information gathered from this project will provide the knowledge to conduct an extensive survey in the future of the western shorelines of Monument. |
