Dinosaur "dance floor" found


The site of what was presumably a former desert oasis has yielded a treasure trove of Jurassic dinosaur tracks. There are about 1,000 footprints and tail-drag marks from at least four different species. It's not quite as impressive as the Bolivian site at Cal Orko, which has 5,000 tracks of six species, but at least this one is horizontal.

For more pictures go to the first link above, but for intelligent discussion, go to this link at ScienceDaily.com.

For subsequent discussion - and doubts re the etiology of these markings being dinosaur prints - go to this later blog entry.
