Hundreds of dinosaur footprints have been found in Poland, giving an insight into a complex ecosystem around 200 million years ago, geologists said.Described by the Polish Geological Institute-National Research Institute as a treasure trove, the fossilized tracks and bones were found in an opencast clay mine in Borkowice, 130 kilometres south of Warsaw.
“In the traces left by dinosaurs, you can read their behaviour and habits,” said geologist Grzegorz Niedzwiedzki.Some of the dinosaur footprints found in Poland are so well-preserved that even the scaly texture of the skin can be seen.The largest footprints of carnivorous dinosaurs are 40 centimetres long and in many cases, the skin can be seen in detail.
“In order for such a state of preservation to be possible, a very special sequence of events had to take place in a short time,” geologist Grzegorz Pienkowski said in a statement. The largest footprints of carnivorous dinosaurs are 40 centimetres long and in many cases, the skin can be seen in detail.Geologists say they are likely to find more.
