Footprints Of Dinosaurs In Bolivia

Dinosaur tracks have been found on a 70-degree rockface in Bolivia. It was a lakeside when the dinosaurs roamed here and around 5000 tracks can be found. From studying the track marks, it is found that 330 species have walked here. In one of the pictures, you can also compare the size of a man’s foot with the huge dinosaur footprint beside it. The clarity of the tracks and their consition is surprisingly good considering they walked here 68 million years ago.

The rockface in the pictures is called Cal Orko by the locals and was discovered recently in 1994, stretching 1.5 km. in length. It is the largest and the most important tracksite but is under constant danger of crumpling. Although $30 millions is being spent on protecting the site that goes upto 150 meters high, by the Bolivian authorities, a part of it crumpled this February destroying about 300 tracks.
