Dinosaurs Do The Rock Dance

Scientists have found what they are calling a “dinosaur dance floor” on the Arizona-Utah border in the US.
They have discovered such an amazing collection of dinosaur footprints – more than 1,000 – that geologists reckon it looks like a giant dino dance floor.

The 190-million-year-old footprints are around what used to be a watering-hole within the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument and are made by at least four different types of dinosaur. Scientists say this looks like a place that attracted a crowd – much like a crowded dance floor.

The dinosaur prints were locked into sandstone after being covered by shifting dunes. They became exposed through erosion and will eventually disappear through erosion, too.
