The online podcast features the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tracksite about 10 miles east of Greybull and four miles west of Shell. It is the largest tracksite in Wyoming and one of the most extensively and intensively studied sites in the world, according to a release from the agency.

The podcast showcases the unique Middle Jurassic paleontological resources preserved at the site, which provide information about a population of meat-eating dinosaurs walking on an ancient tidal flat 167 million years ago. The podcast also highlights some of the state-of-the-art photogrammetric work done on dinosaur footprints in northern Wyoming.
