About this publication
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to live in a world inhabited by dinosaurs? Now you can learn more about that time by taking a step back millions of years through a new poster, the Australian Dinosaur Story.
The poster helps you explore the ancient fossilised footprints at Lark Quarry, the world's only recorded dinosaur stampede, near Winton in Queensland. This amazing place shows more than 3300 fossilised dinosaur footprints.
This poster for you to keep shows you how the footprints were created, and shows Skartopus dinosaurs (small creatures about the size of chickens) and Wintonopus (believed to be up to the size of an emu) running from the large, threatening Tyrannosauropus (about 8 or 9 metres long, with a hip height of about 2.5 metres, and a head height of about 3.5 metres).
