Flexi Dino Tracks Set

Product Information

While the most recognisable fossils come from the preserved bones of ancient animals, their activity can also occasionally be preserved. The first tour of Sucre Dinosaur Park will take you around the gardens and introduce you to the life size reconstructed dinosaurs. There’s a big sign saying Parque Cretacico but it’s not obvious which way to go. In fact it actually points you in the wrong direction! You are advised to wear hiking shoes, but trainers are fine. Just don’t go in flip flops or open toe sandals. If the ground is too hard, the resulting print would be very shallow, show very limited detail or not form at all.

The trail was made by a sauropod that was at least 35 metres long and weighed at least 35 tonnes and lived 145 MYA. The 155 footprints cover a distance of 155 metres and have a length of up to three meters (including the muddy ring that was displaced by his giant foot). The dinosaur has since been identified as Brontopodus plagenensis, which translates as Thunderfoot from Plagne.

For the dinosaur mega fans out there, these are the specific dinosaurs that are featured at Parque Cretacico: A park winds its way from the down the coast museum to the footprints. Life-sized dinosaur statues, playgrounds, picnic areas and a maze can be found along the route and the scenery is supposedly stunning.

And so what was once flat clay ground is now a vertical limestone cliff, almost 3000m above sea-level. It’s located behind the cement factory premises, so you’ll need to walk past the main factory buildings and up a short but steep hill. More than 11,000 footprints have been found from at least ten types of dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous period in an exposed area of over 5,000 square metres. The area is known as the “dinosaur dance world.” We were freaking out': Scientists left 'flabbergasted' by detailed dinosaur footprints covering a cliff in Alaska
