The tracks were found in a rugged, remote, breathtakingly spectacular coastal setting.

They were made by dinosaurs in a variety of estuarine settings.

The tracks are around 140 million years old , from the very beginning of the Cretaceous period.

They appear to be the youngest that is, the most recent thus far reported from southern Africa .

Keep exploring Our team plans to keep exploring deposits of suitable age in the region for evidence of more dinosaur tracks. We also hope that our discovery will inspire a new generation of dinosaur trackers to continue the quest and keep exploring.
