An amazing place is located in southern Bolivia

Be sure to look further for the real traces of nearly 300 different species of dinosaurs on the wall ... Cool!





This wall was discovered in 1994 in the vicinity of the cement plant on the outskirts of the city of Sucre, and at the moment it is the largest portion of the found, which preserved the traces of real dinosaurs.

Great Wall - a rock surface with a slope of 73 degrees, 80 meters high and 1.2 km long. There are more than 5000 tracks from 294 different dinosaurs made during the second half of the Cretaceous period. Because of such an impressive number of tracks, some of the researchers said that this place looks like it was a dance floor dinosaurs.



The estimated age of the tracks tracks, dating from the late Cretaceous period, approximately 68 million years.





The most exciting tracks of the next - from quadruped titanosaur, herbivore with a size of 15 to 25 m ... Perhaps the most unusual trail - 347-meter track, the longest dinosaur footprints ever known to do cub tyrannosaur (researchers gave him the nickname " Johnny Wallker ").





During the Cretaceous period, the area was part of a vast shallow lake. Later, when they were formed by the Andes mountain range, the movement of tectonic Plaza turned the former bottom of the lake almost vertically. Not far from this area in recent years, another eight other similar places "get-togethers" of dinosaurs have been found and are currently being studied.





According to Christian Meyer, a discovery - a huge contribution to humanity and science, opening the data on the first of the unknown here, "a wide variety of dinosaurs than any other site in the world." To contribute to the conservation area in Bolivia in March 2006 opened Park Cretaceous Period. The park replicas of various life-size dinosaurs greet visitors to the museum, transferring them to the prehistoric times.





The joke on the topic :)
