Denali was supported a river system and was much warmer than today. Modern average temperatures in the region are below freezing, -2.2°C, while scientists estimate that 70m years ago the average was a balmy 10°C. Due to continental drift, Denali would have been further north in the late Cretaceous. So, it was hardly a tropical paradise. Some regions would have supported permafrost and ice fields.

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.

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. 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. 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. We were freaking out': Scientists left 'flabbergasted' by detailed dinosaur footprints covering a cliff in AlaskaYou are advised to wear hiking shoes, but trainers are fine. Just don’t go in flip flops or open toe sandals. Take the two-mile-long Dinosaur Ridge Trail, which has around 250 ‘innie’ fossilised dinosaur footprints from three different types of dinosaur and a crocodilian. Stop off to see the bone bed with its rust-coloured bone shapes in the sandstone – this is where the very first Stegosaurus fossils were found.

The 5000 odd real dinosaur footprints are made up of around 15 different species. With some of these Bolivia dinosaur footprints measuring up to an astonishing 80cm in length.

Outies or innies normally refer to belly buttons and how the navel sits in relation to the belly skin.

Human remains are found at Lake Mead's Swim Beach for the third time amid dramatically dropping water levels

A park winds its way from the down the coast museum to the footprints. Life-sized dinosaur statues, playgrounds, picnic areas and a maze can be found along the route and the scenery is supposedly stunning.The human-caused climate crisis, too, has increased the potential for more frequent dramatic swings in periods of drought and high precipitation, such as flash flooding this week in the Dallas area. The park boasts the longest trail of dinosaur footprints in the world, only narrowly eclipsing the Portuguese find. The trail was made by a sauropod that was at least 35 metres long and weighed at least 35 tonnes and lived 145 MYA. The 155 footprints cover a distance of 155 metres and have a length of up to three meters (including the muddy ring that was displaced by his giant foot). The dinosaur has since been identified as Brontopodus plagenensis, which translates as Thunderfoot from Plagne. Raincoat (and pants) – For others, such as those on the Isle of Skye, it’s just as likely to rain. You can even get a dinosaur raincoat for dinosaur fans.
