Dr. Martin Gaudin Lockley, a Denver-based paleontologist, revolutionized the field of paleoichnology by studying fossilized dinosaur footprints. His research on tracksites around the world significantly advanced our understanding of dinosaur behavior, including courtship, parenting, migration, and herding. Lockley's work attracted professional attention and public excitement, making him the gold standard for identifying dinosaur tracks. He co-founded nonprofits, research institutes, and a Dinosaur Track Museum, and received numerous awards for his contributions. Lockley's legacy will be honored with the renaming of the Discovery Center at Dinosaur Ridge and an exhibit featuring his personal collection.
