The Carenque Natural Monument is a fossil site of dinosaur footprints located in the parish of Belas in the municipality of Sintra, Portugal. It was designated as a natural monument in 1997 by Decree No. 19/97 of May 5. [1]
There are tracks from two types of dinosaur. The first type of tracks are from a sauropod and were made by an animal of 30 to 50 feet in length, perhaps a brachiosaurid such as Pleurocoelus, [20] and the second tracks by a theropoda, an animal of 20 to 30 feet in length, perhaps an Acrocanthosaurus. A variety of scenarios was proposed to ...
Scientists have found the U.K.’s largest dinosaur footprint site ever.. The tracks were discovered in a quarry in Oxfordshire — about 60 miles northwest of London — by quarry employee Gary ...
The footprints were first discovered in the 1960s by station manager, Glen Seymour, in the nearby Seymour Quarry. Palaeontologists from the Queensland Museum, including Mary Wade and Tony Thulborn and the University of Queensland excavated Lark Quarry during 1976–77 (the quarry was named after Malcolm Lark, a volunteer who removed a lot of the overlying rock.)
Researchers found that the dinosaur footprints were discovered over 3,700 miles away from each other – and that the footprints were made 120 million years ago on a "supercontinent known as ...
Footprints dating back 120 million years show where dinosaurs were able to cross between land that's now part of two different continents. Matching dinosaur footprints found more than 3,700 miles ...
[2] [3] This monument consists of a set of subcircular and tridactyl footprints containing one of the largest tracks in Europe, with an extension of approximately 140 m (460 ft). It is possible to observe a fossil record with hundreds of dinosaur footprints from the beginning of the Upper Cretaceous on a track over 120 m (390 ft), of 2 ...
“Dinosaurs had not yet emerged at this time, but the animals responsible for the largest footprints here would still have been impressive, reaching up to 2-3 meters in length,” said Cristiano ...
