- Summary:
-
“A terrifying encounter frozen in time. Ninety-five million years ago, in what is now Central West Queensland, hundreds of small dinosaurs congregated by the edge of a lake. All of a sudden, they were interrupted by a large, meat-eating theropod dinosaur. With the lake blocking their escape, the panicking small dinosaurs ran madly away from the lake, past the theropod, and up a drainage channel to safety. We know that this amazing chain of events happened 95 million years ago thanks to an amazing fossil site 110km south of the town of Winton. No dinosaur bones a preserved there, but fossil footprints capture an amazing prehistoric moment in stone, a dinosaur stampede. Now fittingly known as Dinosaur Stampede National Park, this remarkable fossil site is of international significance. It is the only dinosaurs stampede ever found anywhere in the world. Come and explore the discovery, excavation, interpretation, and conservation of this wondrous fossil site, and step back in time.”--Back cover.
