Landslide reveals 68 million years old dinosaur tracks in Bolivia

Landslides In Bolivia have exposed trails of dinosaur footprints running along a near-vertical rock face.

Frequent landslides at the paleontologic site of Cal Orcko constantly reveal new tracks, with some belonging to new species, according to local media.

The wall, which is the largest dinosaur trackway in the world, is approximately 390 feet tall and features tracks made by at least eight species of dinosaurs,The Daily Beast reported.

Some of them are more than a metre in length, indicating the size of some of the vast beasts that roamed the area in the upper cretaceous period - a time in which the majority of dinosaurs lived.
