Dinosaur footprints found in E China

Chinese paleontologists said Friday that they have found dozens of fossilized dinosaur footprints in a geopark in Anhui Province.

The newly-discovered footprints could date back to the Cretaceous period at least 145 million years ago, which paleontologists believe would help understand how dinosaurs lived and the climate back then.

It is not the first time scientists have discovered fossilized footprints of the prehistoric animals in the Qi Yunshan National Geopark as 36 dinosaur footprints have been discovered there since the 1990s.

The geopark is famous for the unique Chinese Danxia landform, which is characterized by steep cliffs formed from red-colored sandstone.
