Largest ever recorded Dinosaur tracks found in ‘Australia’s Jurassic Park’ in the Kimberley

Palaeontologists have unearthed an unprecedented 21 different types of dinosaur tracks in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Australia’s own Jurassic Park has been discovered on a remote stretch of coastline with scientists unearthing an unprecedented 21 different types of dinosaur tracks.

Steve Salisbury, lead author of a paper on the findings, said it was the most diverse discovery of its kind in the world.

‘It is extremely significant, forming the primary record of non-avian dinosaurs in the western half of the continent and providing the only glimpse of Australia’s dinosaur fauna during the first half of the Early Cretaceous Period,’ he said.
