New Members Eduardo Posted July 10 New Members Share Posted July 10 In 2021, my partner and I were vacationing near Buarcos, in Portugal. One of the objectives of choosing this place was to observe some known dinosaur footprints in one of the region's beaches. Because of the tides it was impossible to observe them. But on the last day of vacation on my way to pour the trash into the containers, I found a dinosaur footprint near the road. It was excavated in a terrain where a house was in construction. Friends who live in this area know a geologist to whom I sent some photos. When we realised it could be interesting, I sent the location that was visited by a palaeontologist. It was confirmed that it was in fact a Dinosaur footprint, and although the region had several known footprints, there was no record in this particular zone. - Here is a link to a journal from the Portuguese press - And here a detailed study published in 2024 in the Historical Biology journal Finally, a few photos taken the day I found it: 2 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
