It’s difficult to get the contrast to show the dinosaur tracks here at Lark Quarry, but the bedrock is covered with tracks from chicken-sized Coelurosaurs.
And these are some tracks from the much larger dinosaur, moving across the smaller tracks, now believed to be a large herbivore; a Muttaburrasaurus or similar.
Lark Quarry Conservation Park, the site of the only dinosaur stampede discovered (so far) in the world, is about 110km (70 miles) south-west of Winton.
Thousands of fossilised footprints are left in testimony to the chaos on the banks of the lake nearly 100 million years ago.
