“The Empire State [New York] yielded its first dinosaur fossils in 1972, when Paul Olsen and Robert F. Salvia discovered footprints at Nyack Beach State Park in Rockland County.

Rock slabs taken from the site and now at the New York State Museum reveal typical Grallator footprints.

There are at least two crossing trackways, with individual prints ranging in size from 5 to 6 inches.

No body fossils of dinosaurs have yet been found in New York.”

There apparently are Grallator tracks in CT as well.
