This amazing wall has been discovered dozen years ago near the cement factory in Bolivia. After detailed research scientists found that this wall contains a huge number of dinosaur trails.
The wall is 80 meters high and 1,2 km long and it contains more than 5000 trails of dinosaurs. They named it “The dinosaur dance floor”. The most unusual thing about this wall that should amaze you is that the wall is pretty awry and it is real mystery how dinosaurs could walk over it and leave such trails.

Its not a mystery to anyone that has had a course in geology, when the dinosaurs walked across that surface it was horizontal. Most likely it was a shallow lake bed or mud flat. The footprints were then covered by more sediment and buried. Over millions of years the layers of rock were up turned to a near 90 degree angle. No mystery.
But I have to say those are some of the coolest dinosaur footprints I’ve ever seen, I would love to travel there and see them in person.
The reason the wall is tilted is plate tectonics. Over millions of years portions of the Earth’s crust (they’re called plates) push against each other and create upthrust, where a section can be tilted at a 90 degree angle. If you’ve ever seen a road cut through a mountain you see tilted bands of sediment, which is the same thing. That’s a cool wall, though — wonder where all the dinos where headed?
I agree with WillW here. No mystery at all.
I never suspected that dinosaurs minced! I mean – look at how closely spaced the foot prints are! Come on! This is bullsh*t. I don’t know how the photos were produced but I think they are fakes.
@GeeBob – Dinosaurs ride single file, to hide their numbers.
GeeBob,
Some dinosaurs were very small and some large and had correlating strides. Also, an expert can tell whether the animal was running or walking by looking at the distance between tracks as well as which animal they are from. Look at several other dinosaur prints and you’ll see. Also do some research in animal physiology and animal tracking. These tracks are not fake.
