 Huxley believed that birds evolved from an ancestral ratite, and the large Massachusetts tracks seemed to support this.However, when "Archaeopteryx" was discovered in 1861 it became apparent that the Connecticut River remains could not be those of birds and have since been reidentified as dinosaurs.The Moody trackway is now on display at the Amherst College Beneski Museum of Natural History, along with Hitchcock's substantial collection of other specimens.
