Dinosaur Footprints

The Dinosaur Footprints in Obernkirchen, Germany, is a unique site featuring countless footprints of different dinosaurs. The footprints are preserved in the Obernkirchen Sandstone, a geological unit in Lower Saxony, and date back to the Early Cretaceous period, around 140 million years ago. The site was once a mixture of swamps, lagoons, and river deltas, and the dinosaurs that left their tracks here include quadrupedal, heavily-armored ankylosaurs, long-necked sauropods, bipedal herbivores, and carnivores. Visitors can see the tracks of these ancient creatures, including those of the Iguanodon, a herbivorous dinosaur that likely lived in herds. The site provides a glimpse into the life habits and locomotion of these fascinating creatures, and is a great place for families to learn about and explore the history of dinosaurs
