Dinosaur Tracker Unearths Big Surprises
By Sarah Karush
January 14, 2008
In the past thirteen years, Ray Stanford has amassed an unprecedented collection of
112-year-old footprints, like the one from a Sauropod that once roamed what is now Maryland.
Ray Stanford pulls into the lot of a fast-food restaurant in College Park and parks at the back.
Wearing high rubber boots and carrying a backpack, he makes his way through the brush
and down to a stream bank littered with cups and wrappers.
He has come to track dinosaurs.
Mr. Stanford, a 69-year-old Texan, has been combing Maryland streambeds for evidence
of dinosaurs for the past 13 years.
The result is an unprecedented collection of footprints left behind
112 million years ago, found in an area where none had been reported before.
Mr. Stanford is far from a conventional scientist, and his lack
of formal training ? he has a high school diploma ? is just the start.
He also enjoys pursuing reports of UFOs, or "anomalous aerial objects"
as he prefers to call them.
Mr. Stanford has found hundreds of dinosaur tracks in the suburbs
of the District and Baltimore. They reveal an extraordinary diversity
of animals living in one place during the early Cretaceous period,
about twice the variety previously seen from that geological period.
He also has found the fossilized remains of what he and a Johns Hopkins University
paleontologist think is a previously unknown species, a discovery he lovingly calls "Cretaceous roadkill."
"I just find things," Mr. Stanford said. "I don't know why."
The discoveries have earned him the respect of the scientific establishment,
despite his background. He has collaborated with
people who have doctorate degrees, and is working with the
Smithsonian Institution to find a permanent home there for his
collection.

Good for him! Nice to see "only" having a high school diploma didn't keep this man from doing what he wanted to do and schooling the 'educated" while he is at it!
