    Specifically, because the weather was too hot and the riverbed was dried, so the footprints were exposed.

    It is because of the high temperature weather this year that the river is dry, and the riverbed is gradually exposed to the water, and many dinosaur footprints are seen, and these dinosaurs hundreds of millions of years ago are very large.

    It was the drought that caused the water to evaporate, so the dinosaur footprints were revealed.

    According to park officials, most of the footprints belonged to an adult tall spinosaurus, which was about a meter tall and weighed nearly 7 tons, the longest footprint left by a single dinosaur in North America.

    In the United States, due to the drought problem, the dinosaur footprints of more than 100 million years have been rediscovered, and everyone is more curious about how to determine the dinosaur footprints, because according to the research conducted by the relevant person in charge and experts, it was finally determined that it was the footprints of the dinosaurs.

    In this summer, the drought in the northern hemisphere will be more severe, and there will be serious disasters in Europe, Asia, North America and other regions, and rivers and water will dry up. On August 24th, you can see such a message, according to relevant news reports in the United States, because of the impact of high temperatures, there is a dry river in a dinosaur valley state park in the United States, which has a large number of dinosaur footprints, and it can be found that this dinosaur footprint is very ancient, dating back to 100 million years ago.

    The director of the park also introduced that most of the exposed dinosaur footprints were dinosaur footprints, and it was an adult crane dragon, which should have been 15 feet tall and could weigh close to 7 tons. Under normal circumstances, these hosts are generally covered by sediment or buried by water and are not easy to be found, mainly because the high temperature weather in this buried silver year has caused the river to dry up and there is a drought, so that the footprints of these dinosaurs can be seen again, and after the rain, these footprints will be buried again. Because of the drought problem, not only dinosaur remains, but also water shortage in the Colorado core of the United States, and the river is a relatively large reservoir in the lower reaches of the United States, the water level has been at an all-time low, and when the water level drops, human remains have been found in this lake, which is also the fifth time that human remains have been found in Lake Mead.

    Some countries and regions have also found German warships during World War II, as well as Dorman Stonehenge in Hubei also found the ancient archway of the Qing Dynasty, these are all historical monuments, when these cultural relics and monuments are rediscovered, we have a new discovery. Relevant experts have also studied this, and the remains of the dinosaurs found this time have also been analyzed and studied by experts, and finally summarized.

    It was American dinosaur experts who made a judgment based on experience, and most of the fossilized footprints revealed this time belonged to an adult tall spinosaurus, which was about 15 feet (about a meter) tall and weighed nearly 7 tons. Under normal circumstances, these footprints would have been covered by water and sediment and would not have been easy to detect, but now they are only rediscovered due to drought and the depletion of rivers.

    Hello everyone and welcome to MUZI to see the world! 75 million years ago, this was once a world dominated by dinosaurs, and now, it is a dry and barren mysterious world, if you have been here, you will definitely feel that the sky here is so blue and dazzling, this ancient world, is the Canadian Alberta Dinosaur Park!

    Dinosaur Park is located east of Banff National Park, and many people drive to it these days because it is the resting place of thousands of dinosaurs, the largest concentration of dinosaur fossils found on the planet to date, and the world's best dinosaur museum, where you can see a large number of complete dinosaur fossils, although only on display, but still lifelike!

    Unlike other theme parks, the terrain of Dinosaur Park is naturally formed, in a barren small canyon, with colorful markinged rock formations, where the stratigraphic level can be recorded to trace the geological history back to 2 billion years ago, and connect with dinosaur fossils, as if the scene of ancient times reappeared in front of you!

    There are also scenes of excavation work in the museum, and the staff will also demonstrate how to deal with the unearthed fossils, and you can also go into the wasteland to participate in the excavation of dinosaur fossils, in addition to digging dinosaur fossils, you may also dig up fossils of other animals!

    75 million years ago, the East Alberta region was a large shallow seaside low-lying coastal plain, with countless fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, etc., but over time, most of them formed fossils, showing the real Jurassic Park for modern people!

    Alberta's Dinosaur Park, with its rich fossil layers, mysterious rugged terrain, and rare riverside ecology, was inscribed by the World Heritage Committee in 1979 on the World Heritage List!

    How's it going, isn't it time for dinosaur fans to go?

    A river in Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas dried up due to hot and dry weather, rediscovering a large number of fossilized dinosaur footprints, the oldest of which dates back 100 million years. Most of the footprint fossils belong to the adult Spinosaurus, which was about 15 feet tall and weighed about 7 tons. Under normal weather conditions, these fossilized dinosaur footprints are located underwater, covered in sediment, and difficult to find.

    These footprints are expected to be buried again after the rain, which also helps to protect them from natural weathering and erosion. Footprints left by dinosaurs walking on the surface of loose sediments, fossils formed after diagenesis and preservation. They are formed in situ and best reflect the original sedimentary environment, and have a good indicative effect on the lakeshore and nearshore paleoenvironment.

    As the research object of paleontology, dinosaur footprint fossils are also important materials for studying the physiology and living habits of dinosaurs.

    Dinosaur footprint fossils are "close-ups" of animal activities recorded by nature with a nature video recorder, and are footprints of natural history. Dinosaurs first appeared in the Late Triassic period about 100 million years ago, and dinosaurs first appeared in the late Triassic period about 100 million years ago and died in the late Cretaceous period about 65 million years ago. Extinction events.

    During the Triassic period, vertebrates were further developed. Alveodon reptiles appeared, from whom the earliest dinosaurs developed. There are many species of sauropods and ornithischians.

    Dinosaurs were already a diverse group, taking up a large part of the ecosystem, and the Triassic period is also known as the "dawn before the age of dinosaurs".

    The earliest dinosaur mammal reptiles evolved from theropod reptiles, but in the long years of more than 100 million years from the Jurassic to the Cretaceous, these animals did not live in the same period as mammals, and the shadow of reptiles has always been dominated by dinosaurs, and it was not until the Cenozoic Era that they dominated the earth. It took 10 years for scientists to finally get the initial results. They discovered this large crater in the strata of the Yucatan Peninsula in Central America, Mexico.

    The diameter of this pit is estimated to be between 180-300 km. In 2000, scientists were still doing further research on the pit.

    The first time it appeared was in the Triassic period, when there were many dinosaurs.

    Dinosaurs first appeared in the Jurassic period, three trillion years ago, and there are still many types of dinosaurs.

    I think so, the dinosaurs of that year were most likely to inhabit here, and the period of appearance was in the late Triassic.

    Probably yes, because the United States is a materially rich place, and dinosaurs can live and have access to a lot of resources.

    It's possible, after all, we have been ruled by dinosaurs for a long time, and there may be footprints in every place.

    This is the largest and most complete "sea dragon" fossil ever found in the United Kingdom, which has been praised by scientists. This 9-metre-long dolphin-shaped ichthyosaur skeleton was discovered by experts in the Lateran waters and has been called one of the greatest discoveries in British paleontological history.

    At the beginning of the 19th century, the first ichthyosaur fossils were discovered by fossil hunter and paleontologist Marian Anning, known as sea dragons because they often had very large teeth and eyes. Sea dragons lived hundreds of millions of years ago and can grow up to 25 meters long. Dr. Paleontologist Dean Lomax, who studies the species, said

    Despite the fact that many ichthyosaur fossils have been found in the UK, the Rutland ichthyosaurus is the largest skeleton ever found in the UK and is quite remarkable. “
