Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Prehistoric Trackways National Monument (PTNM) contains the footprints of reptiles, insects, and numerous other amphibians – many of which were previously unknown species. Established in 2009, the Monument is one of the most important track sites in the world, having significant scientific importance; this includes a deposit of Paleozoic Era footprint fossils and 280 million year old petrified wood.

PTNM protects and conserves the land and all of the opportunities it offers to understand and learn the behaviors of the environment and animals that have been recorded there. The main focus of the Robledo Mountains of southern New Mexico, the Monument is an educational, scientific, paleontological, recreational, and scenic location that educates and entertains its visitors no matter their age.
