Dinosaur footprints and trackways of Rioja

Famed for its wine, Rioja is also known for the dozens of sites where the footprints and trackways of dinosaurs, amphibians, and even pterosaurs can be seen.

The creatures that lived here 120 million years ago left their footsteps imprinted in the mud and moist soil and, now fossilised in rock, they have turned the region into one of the most valuable dinosaur footprint sites in all of Europe.

This volume offers detailed descriptions of the sites, footprints, and trackways, and explains what they can tell us about the animals who made them.
