Plateau of Dinosaurs

The Plateau of Dinosaurs is a truly unique location with no equivalent anywhere else on Earth. It draws in visitors from all corners of the world. The plateau is a limestone slab measuring 400 by 300 meters, tilted at an angle of 120 degrees, and situated at a height of 1500 meters. This area is home to around 1,500 pairs of well-preserved dinosaur footprints and 31 trails. This location has the biggest assembly of dinosaur footprints in the world.

During the Jurassic period, Megalosaurs roamed along 26 of the 31 trails. The longest of these trails, measuring 195 meters, 226 meters, 266 meters, and 311 meters, are all world records. (Previously, the record was held by a 147-meter trail in Mexico.) The longest stride found here exceeds two meters.

According to scientists, millions of years ago, this area was most likely a swamp or shallow water. Over time, the swamps dried up and were petrified. During mountain-building processes, the plateau rose above the ground and tilted. As the upper layers of soil were eroded away, the true marvel of paleontology was unveiled to people.
