"In a corner of Biloela state high school’s main office sits an unassuming
white slab, covered with fossilised dinosaur footprints.
New analysis suggests the boulder, hiding in plain sight at the central
Queensland school for more than 20 years, contains one of the highest
concentrations of dinosaur prints documented in Australia.
The slab has 66 fossilised footprints from 47 individual dinosaurs – dating
from the Early Jurassic period about 200m years ago – on the surface, research
led by Dr Anthony Romilio of the University of Queensland Dinosaur Lab
suggests.
The three-toed footprints were made by
Anomoepus scambus, a small,
plant-eating dinosaur that moved on two legs. Skeletal fossils found overseas
suggest the species had long legs, short arms and a chunky body."
