According to Grzegorz Penkowski of the Polish Geological Institute in Borkowice in Mazovia, scientists from the Polish Geological Institute in Warsaw and Uppsala University in Sweden have found several hundred footprints belonging to at least seven different types of dinosaurs. He also added that the tracks are in perfect condition.
“To date, we have managed to find several hundred footprints belonging to at least seven different types of dinosaurs,” said Grzegorz Penkowski from the Polish Geological Institute.
He added that “the biggest clue is 40 centimeters.” – It’s a predator. Possibly related to the Dilophosaurus model. It will be about six meters long. On the other hand, herbivorous dinosaurs were 3-4 meters long, I’m talking about the ancestors of armored dinosaurs or stegosaurs. According to Grzegorz Penkowski, they were also accompanied by prosauropods, that is, the ancestors of the largest land animals.
“These are perfectly preserved casts”
In turn, Grzegorz Nedzwedzki from Uppsala University added that the prints correspond to the quality of the most famous tracks in the world. “These are perfectly preserved paw prints that largely show the anatomy of these dinosaurs. I’m talking about the soft anatomy that was present in the dinosaur leg, which we know little about because these things do not behave like fossils in the fossil state, but it is in the prints that we find some information that will be unique to us. But, of course, these are also skin prints, claw marks, – said Grzegorz Niedzwedzki.
Scientists can reconstruct dinosaurs from such accurate prints. Chief National Geologist Petr Dziadzio of the Ministry of Climate and Environment said that this provides an opportunity to promote Borkovice around the world as a tourist attraction. The site in Borkowice is currently an area of research that geologists believe could take 10 years.
