But Massachusetts isn’t the only place to visit—and even walk in—the footsteps of giants. Here are other dinosaur highways to visit:

In prints produced in perfect conditions, scientists may be able to spot skin impressions or other evidence of the animals' soft anatomy, as well as claw marks and indications of how flexible the digits were. In 2021, a team of Chinese researchers announced the discovery of a “dinosaur dance floor”, a huge concentration of dinosaur footprints, in Shanghang County in the east Fujian Province. There’s a big sign saying Parque Cretacico but it’s not obvious which way to go. In fact it actually points you in the wrong direction!

How do fossil footprints form?

Now a popular Sucre tourist attraction with replica lifesize dinosaurs and museums, Sucre Dinosaur Park once looked very different. While the most recognisable fossils come from the preserved bones of ancient animals, their activity can also occasionally be preserved. First up there’s a shuttle bus service called the sauromovil (aka dino bus), running from the main square of Plaza 25 de Mayo. It’s normally right in front of the cathedral, you can’t miss it. Skye touts itself as Scotland’s “Dinosaur Island,” and with good reason—on Staffin Beach on the east coast at low tide, you can see prints left by small dinosaurs about 165 million years ago. If you miss them, the small Staffin Museum has casts of the prints, along with dinosaur bones and other fossils.) And so what was once flat clay ground is now a vertical limestone cliff, almost 3000m above sea-level.

You can only go with a guide though and you’ll need to wear a safety helmet as a precaution for the occasional falling rubble. Ankylosaurs generally had longer toes than ceratopsians. Additionally, ceratopsians may have walked on the tips of their fingers so wouldn't leave a palm print, whereas ankylosaurs walked with their palms flat on the floor. Human remains are found at Lake Mead's Swim Beach for the third time amid dramatically dropping water levels Take water and sun protector because the area is exposed and during the midday sun – it gets hot hot hot. It’s a shame because the designation would bring a welcome cash injection for the preservation of the Sucre dinosaur footprints.More than 11,000 footprints have been found from at least ten types of dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous period in an exposed area of over 5,000 square metres. The area is known as the “dinosaur dance world.” Millions of years ago a huge shift created the expansive Andes mountain that runs through the South American continent and pushed the ocean outwards by thousands of kilometers. So do be mindful that this tour only runs twice a day at 12pm and 1pm. And that you have to go down with a tour guide, it’s not possible to go on your own.

It’s located behind the cement factory premises, so you’ll need to walk past the main factory buildings and up a short but steep hill.However, while shapes like these may look like footprints, there are some natural processes that can produce footprint-like impressions.
