Walking with Dinosaurs
This week's Saturday Flashback goes back c150 million years to show what is definitely the footprint of a dinosaur, thought to be an Allosaurus, a meat eater that could run upto 30mph. The three toes / claws are especially noticeable in this photo. The creature was crossing the sandbar of a river and left its imprint.
The photo below shows at least 8 footprints of a large Sauropod (possibly a Camarasaurus) as it made tracks across the same sandbar. This large dinosaur was a plant eater that probably weighed around 18 tons!
I love sites like this. Not a National, State or even Local Park, just a two-mile drive down a very rough track and then a walk to a single interpretation board.
