The previtreous dynamics in glass forming monomer, glycerol monoacrylate (GMA), using broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) was tested. Measurements revealed the clear dynamic crossover at temperature TB=254 K and the time scale τ(TB)=5.4 ns for the primary (structural) relaxation time and no hallmarks for the crossover for the DC electric conductivity σDC. This result was revealed via the derivative-based and distortions-sensitive analysis dlnHa/d(1/T) vs. 1/T, where Ha is for the apparent activation energy. Subsequent tests of the fractional Debye-Stokes-Einsten relation σDC(τα)S=const showed that the crossover is associated with S=1 (for T>TB)->S=0.84 (for T<TB). The crossover is associated with the emergence of the secondary beta relaxation which smoothly develops deeply into the solid amorphous phase below the glass temperature Tg.
