A physician by trade, Deane considered geology and paleontology side interests (though he published important works in their studies). He is most famous for his book </span><em><span>Ichnographs from the Sandstone of Connecticut River </span></em><span>which was full of beautiful photographs of the trackways. He was also well known for his long-standing rivalry with Hitchcock over deserved credit for the discovery of the tracks.</span></p></div> Tue, 13 Jul 2021 15:18:39 +0000 avenne 804987 at https://www.amherst.edu https://www.amherst.edu/museums/naturalhistory/education/community-connections/connecticut-river-valley/discovery-of-tracks-and-footprints/green-river-cemetery/node/804985 <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden"> </span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><a title="View user profile." href="/user/119075" class="username">Alfred J.

It is a small obelisk labeled DEANE and surrounded by the graves of James Deane’s mother, siblings, wife, and daughters. You can park along the gravel roads nearby. Look for a wooden stake with a 4 on it to find the lot and walk towards the treeline to find the gravesite.</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Tue, 13 Jul 2021 15:18:20 +0000 avenne 804985 at https://www.amherst.edu
